Historical landmark
Sukhbaatar Square stands as the vibrant heart of Ulaanbaatar, drawing in numerous visitors throughout the year. During the summer months from June to September, the main square in front of the Parliament Building is transformed with artificial turf, creating a serene space for relaxation and observing people. Additionally, a stage is set up during this period for free concerts, ceremonies, and various festivities that take place almost every day.
Fun place to visit! Get to see much of the cultural portion of the Capital. I visited during a holiday, so there was a concert going on as well. Seems like the entire city came out to celebrate
Vaibhav B — Google review
The hub of the city centre and clearly a popular place for locals to gather, especially on the weekend. There’s families playing in the ride on cars, weddings having their photos taken, and during my visit there was also a large event taking place. The statues are great to admire and the iconic photo background with the palace is a must see. It’d be hard to visit the city without coming here but it’s well worth it too.
Steve B — Google review
Wide area landmark in the middle of capital city. As when I visited is the late winter (beginning of March) there are some ice sculptures left to play around. The statue is gorgeous and well preserved. I met many group of tourists here.
Gunruthai C — Google review
Definitely a must visit if you are in UB. Lots of statues drifting local culture and heritage. Great spots for photos and impressive Soviet era buildings surround the square.

A very cool area of Ulaanbaatar to take a peek into the culture and history of Mongolia. Sukhbaatar Square is a massive plaza in the middle of the city and I definately recommend coming here whenever you (hopefully) visit Mongolia.
Galt B — Google review
Let’s speak clear: this monumental square is iconic for UB, but absolutely there’s nothing special. The statue of the General in the middle with all the flowers around gives a little of colours, but that’s not enough to make this square a must-see. The parliament next to the square makes this place important: let’s consider it a place to meet and a starting point for visiting the City and the close interesting museums! By night in summertime there are many activities for children and fun movement enjoying the open spaces for biking, skating, riding
Matteo B — Google review
If you’re visiting Mongolia, Sükhbaatar Square is a must-see stop — even if just for a quick photo. It’s the heart of the city and a place where the community gathers for important events. When we visited, it happened to be Korean Day, and the square was full of people celebrating, participating in activities, and enjoying the atmosphere. A vibrant spot to experience local culture right in the center of Ulaanbaatar.
Ron G — Google review
Sukhbaatar square is center of Ulaanbaatar. Sukhbaatar is Mongolian hero who fought for Mongolian freedom. He is all Mongolian General and only lived 30 years, but his legacy remains till this day. His portrait is appeared on 20 50 and 100 mongolian tugrug. 1 province named after him which is located in east area of the country. His death is mystery, historians told he was poisoned by foreign doctor but not it’s not proven. This place calm His statue opened in 1946 its surrounded by 14 lions which is symbolising Mongolia country is untouchable protected

The National Museum of Mongolia, also known as Монголын Үндэсний Музей, is a treasure trove of artifacts and antiquities that offer a comprehensive journey through Mongolia's rich history, ethnography, and culture. From Neolithic relics to contemporary exhibits, the museum provides an unparalleled insight into Mongolian heritage.
Good, but i realized i just don't find going to museums rewarding enough for time spent. I can get more personalized history learning in YouTube or other documentaries.
Don O — Google review
Very good museum for an overview of Mongolian history - please note some of the exhibits have been moved to the new “Gengis Khan” museum around the corner which is a much more modern museum.
Jakob W — Google review
Excellent exhibits, and the costumes gallery is pretty spectacular. Kids went in free. Overall a great way to step into Mongolian history and culture from within the inner city.
Matt Y — Google review
The museum has a huge collection of items from Mongolian history. There are 9 halls that are arranged according to the historical period. The display of items start from prehistoric Mongolia to Democratic Mongolia. The interesting ones are from Chinggis Khan and his successors, the traditional mongolian culture and the influence of Buddhism which influenced mongolian society. The museum contains about 60000 artifacts and takes 2-3 hrs to see them. It's a great place for history lovers and requires a guide to understand the significance of the artifacts on display.
Soudamini M — Google review
The National Museum of Mongolia is a true cultural treasure—beautifully preserving and showcasing the rich tapestry of Mongolia's history, from the grandeur of the Mongol Empire to the vibrant traditions of nomadic life. Its exhibits are not only informative but deeply inspiring, offering visitors a powerful journey through the soul of a proud and resilient nation.

Awful. Lazy people. They have different working hours for winter and summer seasons. Summer season end on the 15th of September and the Winter season starts on the 16th. In summer season it is open every day but in winter - closed on Mondays. I came to Ulaanbaatar on the 15th of September (Monday). The museum had to be opened but was closed. They are not following their own rules, nobody inside spoke any other language than Mongolian. I, together with other tourists from France and Malaysia, was very disappointed since another major museum was also closed on Monday and I couldn’t visit the one that HAD TO BE OPEN!!!

The Choijin Lama Temple Museum, located in downtown Ulaanbaatar, is a stunning Buddhist monastery built between 1904 and 1908. Once the residence of Luvsan Haidav Chiojin Lama, it now houses five temples showcasing ancient art and cultural artifacts. The ornate pagoda-style architecture stands out amidst the modern high-rise buildings surrounding it.
This location is fantastic, conveniently situated near downtown and easily reachable on foot. I highly recommend it. While I cannot share images of the interiors due to restrictions, everything is stunning.

Fascinating museum. Smaller than some museums but unique collection of artifacts. We really enjoyed our visit and a great location in the heart of Ulaanbaatar.
John R — Google review
South of the "sail tower" building, this large Buddhist temple is a gem. The brightly colored building outside are worth the fee alone. But the real treat is inside the main building: ceremony mask, bronzes, clothing, wood cabinet: everything transpire history. The smell of old lacquer, centuries old wood floor and the dark, brooding atmosphere make for an attractive and addictive experience.

The Choijin Lama Temple Museum, located in the heart of the city, left me deeply impressed. Surrounded by modern buildings, this temple stands as a timeless treasure of Mongolian culture and spirituality. I was amazed by the intricate statues, sacred artworks, and the deep sense of devotion reflected in every corner — a beautiful glimpse into Mongolia’s rich religious heritage.
William K — Google review
It is very difficult to imagine a visit in UB without visiting this museum. At the end, this is not really different from other temples in the Country, but this is well preserved, full of masterpieces of art and very close to the central square. I would never miss it even if I had one day only for visiting UB. Entrance ticket 15.000

The Buddhist temple complex is very well preserved, and full of great art pieces, including sculptures by Zanabazar. Information signs are also in English, and the staff was helpful.

The Bogd Khaan Palace Museum, once the winter residence of a 1900s Mongolian emperor, is now a museum showcasing thousands of historical artifacts. This ornate complex includes six temples with Buddhist artwork and thangka art. Visitors can explore the personal belongings of the last Bogd Khaan, such as his throne, bed, art collection, ceremonial ger (yurt), and jewelry. The museum also presents theories about the king's death and displays original outfits and furniture.
15,000 for adults. It's a fascinating place. It's a bit run down. They charge extra if you want to take photographs. I was there when they opened. Felt like I had the place to myself other than all the security.

The impressive compound, both inside and out, is truly exceptional. I highly recommend taking some time to read the descriptions, as they provide a wealth of interesting information, particularly about the life of the emperor and his consorts. It is definitely worth a visit.

The best time to get here is 9am bright and early. It will take you about 45 minutes to see and you’ll have the grounds all to yourself. You can’t take photos inside the structures but you can photograph from the outside.
Aman S — Google review
Overall, Bogd Khaan Palace Museum is well worth a visit. It’s not a huge museum, but it’s rich in cultural depth and gives a vivid sense of Mongolia’s monarchical past and religious tradition. Photography inside the museum is restricted unless you buy an additional photo-permit, which can feel a bit inconvenient.

The mall features a large cashmere store, a diverse souvenir shop, and various restaurants serving both local and international cuisines. Visitors can also enjoy breathtaking views of the city from this location. Gobi Cashmere is a prominent presence within the mall.
Most people come here to buy Gobi cashmere. Which I recommend you go and visit. Other than that, it has a few restaurants on the upper floors that you might find satisfactory.

I think they have the best variety of touristy things for sale. They have items I haven't seen elsewhere and highlight local brands that sell non-touristy things as well.

Housed in a stunning neoclassical building on Sukhbaatar Square, the theater boasts a rich history and a talented company of dancers, singers, and musicians.

First show of da season, with a classic Italian Opera of Aida! The theatre received a new coat of paint over the last month, looking as good as new but still preserved with the Soviet style. The theatre sets were majestic, performers are professional… and the staging was “wild” too, with horse, eagle and a snake joining in the show. And kudos to an amazing performance, the music ensemble, the directing and production crew. 🌷🍺 for those interested, you can visit ticket.mn to source for production happenings in Mongolia!

Best place in the city to get away from the city noise, breathe fresher air, and be in a large green space. If you like running, you will be in great company, especially in the morning. Great for biking, letting the kids run around, and picnics. There multiple playgrounds throughout the park. Sometimes you’ll see a little grey fox running around and other wildlife. All the shops are at the main gate. It’s less developed the farther south and east you go…you can also bring your own bow and arrow and shoot in the undeveloped part.

Surely the best option if you want to escape from the city’s pollution and traffic. Nice to have a walk or to run/jog, with a ring of approximately 3/4 kms all asphalted. Highly recommended, especially early in the morning, to enjoy unbeatable sunrises and quietness! I have also met corsac foxes and wild horses, which is great!

Best spacious area in the UB area. Close to downtown, easy to walk or take a cab..great place for exercise, run, bike, and strollers. Safe during daylight. I wouldn't recommend being there at night. Family friendly, perfect for elders and house pets. Be careful, though many dogs were not on leash. I love it, though. Summer probably would be packed once little coffee and fast food shops were open.

This place is a nice change of pace. Bring the family, or come solo, rent a bike for yourself or for two people and ride the entire outdoor park. It is a lively green, athletic, some quiet spots to chill by yourself. Today was a busy day because of the holiday but I've heard on non holidays it's not that crowded. Come in the late afternoon and evening time, you will definitely have fun! Afterwards, head over to the restaurants and grab a convenient bite to eat🙋‍♂️

My favourite place to walk and feel slightly away from the bustle of the city. Despite the park not being up to any international standard, it's still better than having no park at all. Just wish there were people maintaining the park and actually opening the toilets. The toilet signs are there but they're always locked. Can't expect much from Mongolia but this is the one of the few best places in ulaanbaatar to feel healthy.

Park
The National Amusement Park, situated in the heart of Ulaanbaatar, is a popular destination for families with young children. Established in 1965, it has undergone significant expansion and modernization over the years. The park features a variety of indoor and outdoor attractions including amusement rides, paddle boats, and entertainment shows. In addition to traditional rides like carousels and a pirate ship, the park also offers a cinema, shooting range, sports ground, and fairy-tale sculptures.
My 3 year old kid loved this place. There are about 6 rides which he can go to, and then there were some family rides where we had to join him along. There is a play area inside as well for very little kids who don't sit on rides. Most rides are for kids so if you are an adult who plans to go there, you may just have to stroll along and probably do a roller coaster, a pirate ship or a boa ride. There is the giant wheel too but its not an adventurous ride, it goes super slow and is just so that you can have a bird eye view of the city, something like that Singapore flyer or the London Eye. There are ice creams stations, face painting, animals viewing (peacock etc.) and some food stalls. Entry is free here and rides are chargeable. You can buy a pass of either 4, 6, 8 or 10 rides so that it gets cheap for you. On an average, rides would cost you about 8000 tugrik, but taking the pass brings that figure down. You can bring in your own food as there is no security check at any entrances. You can enter here from the Ulanbataar Park as well, so if you are using the public transport, you can get down right after Peace Bridge and walk inside the Ulanbataar park and then to the amusement park.

National Amusement Park is located within a beautifully maintained national park, offering a clean and pleasant environment. The grounds are well kept, making it a relaxing place to spend an entire day. However, I was quite shocked when the roller coaster came to a sudden, jarring stop at the end—it felt unexpectedly rough. On a brighter note, the central stage hosts excellent live performances that add great energy to the park, and the Ferris wheel provides a wonderful panoramic view of the surroundings.

On the flip side, many visitors note that maintenance is patchy, facilities feel dated and some rides look in need of repair.  If you’re seeking a short fun stop in the city and understand its modest scale, it works. But don’t expect a modern theme-park experience.

It was very good, I went there by myself but they were a lot of kids and teenagers. Most of the kid rides were closed because of the pandemic but all of the adult rides were open, the big roller coaster was working so if you like roller coasters, i reccomend riding it. In total there were about 10 food stands,7 drink and ice cream stands and 5 toy shops that were all working. Employees were friendly and was perfectly saying the safety rules to the customers 👏. All in all it was a great experience and it is perfect to visit in the summer.

I don’t know who runs this place, but they’re doing a terrible job. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be an amusement park or just a public park. Since they got rid of the entrance fee, the place has been deteriorating rapidly. The facilities and rides are old and poorly maintained. The green areas are almost nonexistent they’ve replaced natural grass and trees with artificial ones that look pretty pathetic. They mostly employ students who aren’t properly trained, and security is practically nonexistent. Nowadays, there are many homeless people and kids wandering around, harassing visitors and asking for money or food. Since it’s free to enter, I guess that’s to be expected. About a decade ago, the park went through massive renovations and upgrades, with promises of turning it into something like Disneyland. But it’s nowhere close. Since then, nothing new has been added. At the main entrance, they even allowed pubs and karaoke bars in the entrance building I thought this was supposed to be a children’s park. Basically, the whole place is uncomfortable. Just walking there makes me uneasy. Despite being state property, many people misuse it.

An incredibly amazing amusement park for Ulaanbaatar and the rest of Mongolia. Quite a few attractions are seen here, including a ferris wheel, rollercoasters, and more. Tickets to use rides and other attractions are fairly cheap, and don't have to be booked in advance of visiting. Definately coming here again soon!

10Geser Sum Monastery

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Place of worship
Geser Sum Monastery, established in the late nineteenth century with contributions from Chinese merchants, showcases a blend of Chinese-inspired layout and Tibetan Buddhist architecture. Originally a Guandi Temple built by Shanxi merchants, it was later transformed into a Tibetan Buddhist temple dedicated to King Gesar. Despite its small size, the monastery exudes a peaceful and atmospheric ambiance and houses exquisite Buddha statues. While it may appear modest at first glance, exploring the complex reveals its deeper dimensions.
It's actually bigger than it looks because it's deep, but one would need to walk around the first temple to get to the other parts.

It is extremely small but has a good and peaceful atmosphere that is worth the trouble.

(Translated by Google) Geser Sum Monastery I visited around 7 a.m. on July 22, 2022, but the door was locked and there was a sign in Mongolian that entry was restricted due to coronavirus prevention. It is said to be a Chinese-style Tibetan Buddhist temple. (Original) Geser Sum Monastery 2022년 7월 22일 오전 7시 경에 방문을 했는데, 문은 잠겨져 있고, 코로나방역으로 출입을 제한한다는 몽고어의 안내문이 붙어 있었습니다. 중국식 티벳 불교사원이라고 합니다.

(Translated by Google) It was originally a Guandi Temple built by Shanxi merchants, but later changed to Tibetan Buddhism and dedicated to King Gesar. Tibetans believe that Guan Gong is the incarnation of King Gesar. (Original) 原先是晋商建的关帝庙,后来改为藏传佛教,供奉格萨尔王。藏族人认为,关公是格萨尔王的化身。

Mountain peak
Tasgany Ovoo is a significant site in Mongolia, associated with the renowned Gandan Monastery. While the actual ovoo has been taken down, the hill where it stood remains. It offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Ulaanbaatar, allowing visitors to gain some perspective and tranquility amidst the city's traffic.
Tasgany Ovoo is one of those peaceful spots in Ulaanbaatar where the city’s noise feels far away, even though it’s right nearby. The view from the hill is beautiful you can see both the mountains and the city skyline at once. It’s also a place with spiritual meaning, where people come to make offerings and find calm. Whether you visit to take photos, breathe fresh air, or just clear your mind, Tasgany Ovoo has a quiet charm that makes you feel connected to Mongolia’s nature and traditions. However, this place really needs better pedestrian paths, comfortable seating areas, proper access for people with special needs, and most importantly, public restrooms as soon as possible! Right now, it’s more of a nice viewpoint on a hill rather than a fully developed public space, but it has so much potential to become something truly special for everyone. I can more than 2 stars out of 5

15Peace Avenue

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Peace Avenue, also known as one of the key streets in UB, is a major reference point for locals due to the lack of clear street signs and addresses. Chinggis Avenue, located on the western side of Sukhbaatar Square, serves as a stable north-south street leading to Peace Avenue. This bustling thoroughfare is essential for orienting oneself in the city.
