This chaotic capital starkly contrasts the vast expanses of exquisite wilderness for which Mongolia is known. While Ulaanbaatar is typically used as merely a gateway for travellers keen to explore the magnificent surrounding countryside, the city itself has some intriguing points of interest. Watch traditional theatre, try out some delicious international cuisine, visit numerous monasteries and museums or party till the sun comes up! Don't miss Sukhbaatar Square, the city's main square featuring statues of the national heroes of Chinggis Khan and Sukhbaatar.
