Kathmandu Insider Tip

Kathmandu's Thamel neighbourhood is tourist-central but the real soul of the city is in the Newari old town around Asan Chowk and Indra Chowk. Walk north from Durbar Square at dawn when the vegetable sellers set up and the temples come alive with puja smoke and devotees.

Amsterdam Insider Tip

Cycling is the dominant mode of transport ā€” stay out of bike lanes. Almost everyone speaks English.
