The bustling heart of Kathmandu, Durbar Square is a great place where you can easily spend hours for a stroll, sit down at one of the temples, and watch Nepalis go around their life.
Durbar Square is the old city heart of Kathmandu - it was here that the Royal Palace once stood. In fact, Durbar means Palace. While the royal family moved elsewhere around a century ago, the square retains its importance as a crossroads in the city. If you, like me, imagine one square, you are in for a surprise: Durbar Square consists of several squares, all linked by streets and alleys. All combined, the maze of squares and streets, alleys and quiet corners makes for a great destination to just wander around and explore. Getting lost here would be a major achievement even for those without a sense of direction, since the area is small enough. After exploring, you might want to just sit down and watch life pass by from one of the many temples with stairs.
