Ulaanbaatar highlights and how to enjoy the city

Classic spots

• Chinggis Khaan Square (Sukhbaatar Square): the central square, with a huge statue of Chinggis Khaan in front of the Parliament House.
• Gandan Monastery: one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in Ulaanbaatar.
• Zaisan Tolgoi: a hilltop memorial with a panoramic view of the city.

Enjoying the city

You can get around by bus or taxi, but traffic is heavy, so allow plenty of time. Many visitors combine city sightseeing with Terelj or the Chinggis Khaan Statue Complex outside the city.
