The central square dominated by the Mongolian parliament building is surrounded by old and in some cases crumbling Soviet style buildings together with an ultramodern blue glass hotel that soars like a spinaker in a full breeze. Familiar fashion houses along one side and non descript buildings opposite make for a sense of haphazard planning. Regardless, if you are going... More

At 76,000 m² it is slightly bigger than Kim Il-Sung Square in Pyongyang. Ok it may not be a world wonder but it's actually a pretty impressive square. To think that it used to be an empty dumping area for rubbish in the 19th century it's quite impressive when you see what it has now become, a beautiful, modern and... More

I choose Selena Tour company, based in Ulaanbaatar, for my custom 3 day tour. They were great, you get your money's worth with them, highly recommended. I did a National Parks tour, and my driver and guide were very flexible with my wishes. They are the real deal.

this is a beautiful square and huge statue of Chngiss Khan. Be very careful though, so many pickpockets will try and get in your backpack, pocket, purse or jacket pockets. They are skillfull and know many people losing a phone, computer or wallet here. Dont go alone, day or night and watch each others back.

Sukhbaatar Square fronts the main Parliament Building and has some rather impressive statures of guess who? It can be a focal point for parades and of course is a natural place for all tourist to visist at least once on a trip. Beware that during winter the surface of the square is very, very slippery and falls onto ice covered... More

As far as squares go, it's quite nice, and quite square. It's relatively free of pigeons and beggars, and very clean. There are a few good statues to take pictures of, but all in all, it's a square. Not a great deal to get excited about here...

Possibly some good live concerts this summer. Nice statues of Chinggis and his cohorts on the Parliament Buiding.

Very fun in the summer time, dozens of people out enjoying the sun, roller blading or just strolling. Take a picture in front of the government house or the statue of Sukhbaatar. For a romantic date, try one of the many tandem bikes that can be rented at the square!
