Independent travel magazine

Guides for people who would rather stay a week than see everything.

Caesar Plaza publishes original, practical writing about travelling slowly, eating well and learning a city on foot.

Written, not aggregated

Every article is written for this site by our editorial team, not assembled from other sites.

We publish the details that change a trip: timing, cost, the order to do things in and what to skip.

We take no payment for coverage. The site is supported by advertising and by readers.

A practical guide to understanding the rhythm, layout and unwritten rules of public squares when you arrive somewhere new.
