Sukhbaatar Square
Once known as Genghis Khan Square, Sükhbaatar Square is Ulaanbaatar's epicenter. Named for Damdin Sükhbaatar, who declared Mongolian independence from China in 1921, it houses statues of Genghis Khan, Sükhbaatar, and Sanjaasürengiin Zorig, who helped lead the democratic revolution of 1990.
The Gandantegchinlen Monastery is a Mongolian Buddhist monastery in the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar that has been restored and revitalized since 1990. The Tibetan name translates to the "Great Place of Complete Joy".
The Dsaisan Memorial is located in the south of the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar and is intended to commemorate the Soviet soldiers who died in World War II. The memorial is located on a hill.
The Chinggis Khan Museum is the nation's largest museum and holds a collection of over 8,300 objects relating to Great Khans of the Mongol Empire and the history of Mongolia from Xiongnu to the end of the 20th century, with a portion of the collected artifacts on display in nine exhibition halls.
The Winter Palace of Bogd Khan stands in the south of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, on a road to Zaisan. The palace, now a museum, was built in 1905 according to the plans of a Russian architect under the direct command of Tsar Nicholas II.

Not worth it
Communication prior to tour was fine. But the day before, the assigned guide notified me a substitute guide would come to do the 3 hour tour. Which was fine except that person was a half hour late and did not seem to understand the purpose of the walking tour (to show me city highlights). She was nice but had minimal engagement and limited English speaking skills which made for an awkwardly quiet three hours for this solo traveler. Definitely not worth the cost and time I expected. If anything, make sure you have a clear and agreed upon itinerary before the tour.
