Authentic newari architecture right next to Kathmandu. In my view, the best Durbar Square (in comparison to both Patan's and Kathmandu's Durbar Square. Don't miss the painting school a few steps away and the Poterry Square. Try one of the roof top restaurants overlooking the square for momos or just a refreshment!
