Lonely Planet review for Durbar Square

Bhaktapur's Durbar Sq is larger than Kathmandu's, much less crowded with temples than Patan's and less vibrant than either. It wasn't planned that way: Victorian-era illustrations show the square packed with temples and buildings, but the disastrous earthquake of 1934 destroyed many of them, and today empty plinths mark where temples once stood.

Durbar Sq is the one place where you'll be approached by a string of tiresome guides and thangka painting school touts.
