Монголын Үндэсний Музей
A concise yet comprehensive overview of Mongolia’s history from early humans to modern era based on a vastly rich collection of artifacts. Particularly interesting to ladies might be the collection of traditional costumes of over 20 ethnic groups, their jewelry and luxury accessories.

Sukhbaatar Square
The central square of Ulaanbaatar originally bore the name of Sukhbaatar, a people’s hero of the beginning of 20th century when the country’s journey toward independence started.
Today it bears the name of Chinggis Khan’s (Mongolian spelling) and provides a great view point to many important landmarks of past and the present not to mention the rich vibe of cultural events and social gatherings: wedding, graduations, reunions etc.

Tumen Ekh Ensemble
An entrancing introduction to Mongolia’s folklore songs, traditional dances and the internationally acclaimed arts of throats singing and contortion. It’s a chance to see and listen to horse fiddles, the icon of Mongolia’s traditional musical art. A Buddhist ritual dance of deities wearing elaborate masks is also an essential act of the repertoire.
