A good place to shop jewelry. I found one aunty's collection really unique and bought some jewelry from her. You need to bargain here as the things initially might seem a bit expensive. There are a lot of good cafés here also. This market also has beautiful traditional structures and temples.

The square is one of the most visited and historical places in the city. The square is a complex of temples, museums, and history. The museum you need to buy at the entrance of the square and there are washrooms and a charging point in the museum. There are many cafeterias near an open market. It also has a house of Goddess (Kumari) in the square. The square is well connected to public transportation and usually crowded on weekends.

This place speaks a lot about the culture and heritage of the country. It's basically a complex comprising of temples, shopping stores, eateries etc. I highly feel that this place needs a lot of maintenance. Hope the govt. does that as it's a touristic place and more importantly it's a place of the national importance.

This complex has many temples and shrines. The museum is under renovation. But doing reading prior to visiting this complex is very useful. I recommend Thomas Bell's book "Kathmandu." It helps me to understand religious backgrounds of Kathmandu including Durbar Square.
