Walk around the exterior of the Ulaanbaatar City Museum. The low sun casts long shadows across the facade, highlighting the history of the building that once housed the Tuvan embassy and a printing house.
17:49
Stop at Coffee Bean for a quick espresso. It is only a three minute walk from the museum and opens at 8:00, so it is ready for you before the evening rush.

Hazara North Indian Restaurant
Head to Hazara North Indian Restaurant for dinner. The spicy North Indian and Afghani dishes are a perfect way to warm up as the temperature drops after sunset. The costumed waitresses add to the atmosphere.
19:04
End the night at Papa Cafe. Grab a baked good or a final coffee. The cafe is open until 21:00 on weekdays, giving you just enough time to wind down after dinner.
Local tip
The museum is closed on weekends, so this plan works best Monday through Friday. The walk between the museum and the restaurants is short, keeping you from getting cold in the evening air.
