Bhaktapur Durbar Square
Bhaktapur's palace plaza displays royal architecture, gates and active civic space within the old town. This palace plaza is distinct from Taumadhi and Dattatreya squares.
The Golden Gate and the 55-Window Palace frontage reward time spent looking across the plaza, where royal buildings still frame public life. Starting here also helps you understand Bhaktapur's layout: Taumadhi and Dattatreya are separate squares with their own landmarks. Give this palace setting its own pause before moving through the old town.
