Ulaanbaatar is a city with a long name and a lot to offer. Perched in a river valley, it’s surrounded by a lush and exquisite landscape. Its pride and joy is the Bogd Khan Uul National Park, which is most often a tourist’s first stop. Nature’s wonders abound here and are visible in the form of fascinating hot springs and beautiful rock formations.

Ulaanbaatar is a destination of stark contrasts. On one hand, you can experience a traditional lifestyle that’s indigenous to Mongolia and, on the other, just a short distance away, the city center’s towering buildings reveal how modernity has encroached into this historic town. However, evidence of its rich past is still seen in the Soviet-era buildings and historic statues that pepper the city center. While you plan to spend time in this city, we suggest you check out our list of the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 06, 2024.
