Find a spot to sit and watch the world go by at Dattatreya Square. If its well-trodden paths could talk, this historic town square would have plenty of tales to tell.

Dattatreya Square is a worthwhile place to start out your day in Bhaktapur. This public square comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Pencil in time for other attractions like Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath, and Bhaktapur Durbar Square to make the most of what's on offer in the area.
