Cost of Living in Nuuk I Greenland

What is it like Living in Greenland?

Greenland is likely to evoke mental pictures of polar bears, icebergs, the northern lights, and Inuit culture and lifestyle. We think you'll appreciate this northern gem as much as we do. People's perceptions of Greenland are often incorrect, and we hope this video may dispel some of those myths. How about we get going?

Everyday Food.
Greenlanders often eat a lot of canned goods, as well as canned fish, potatoes, and vegetables. Many Inuit tribes also rely heavily on seal and polar bear meat. Incredible dining options can be found all around the western coast of Greenland. While that may be true, it is not well known. Greenlandic delicacies are often reserved for the most discerning of diners (unless you happen to be Inuit), leading many to get a false idea of the cuisine outside of Greenland.

An Infinite Supply of Sunlight
Learn what it's like to have sunshine on your face for all 24 hours of the day. Just picture yourself seeing the sun set (it does not truly set) and then rising again an hour later. Greenland's summers are nonstop celebrations.

What it's like to live in Greenland and learn about its culture and music
The Greenlandic people have always placed a high value on the arts, both historically and now. With such a small population, Greenland is home to a surprisingly robust music culture, with several performers garnering worldwide acclaim.
Greenlandic literature began with the oral transmission of Greenland's rich oral tradition of myths and stories. Many of these have been memorialized in print and are readily available at this time.
While Greenlanders have a long history of performing for one another, it wasn't until 1984 that a professional theater company was founded, and it wasn't until 2011 that the country's first theater school opened.
Greenland is home to a rich history of craftsmanship. Greenlanders traditionally wear colorful woolen knitwear (anoraks) and handcrafted boots (kamiks). Fur and sealskins have been vital to Greenlanders' survival in the north for centuries, but in recent years, Greenlandic design has exploded, reaching new levels of creativity by fusing worldwide and Greenlandic fashions with the inventive use of fur and skin goods.

Fundamental Economic Principles
Standard of living and unemployment in Greenland are on par with those in mainland Europe (officially about 10 percent in the mid-1990s, with the public sector accounting for almost two-thirds of all jobs). While its GDP is more than $1 billion each year, the Danish government provides almost half of its budgetary support. The Greenlandic economy experienced a downturn in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Recent years have had budget surpluses and low inflation, but there is rising concern that overfishing may soon cause severe fisheries depletion. Small, remote Inuit communities in northern and eastern Greenland rely heavily on subsistence hunting for food and clothing (mainly polar bear and seal furs). Some Inuit communities have also profited from the International Whaling Commission's (IWC) recent decision to offer Greenland special authority to participate in limited aboriginal subsistence whaling.

Literature, Music, Art, and All Other Humanities Topics
Help for the Creative Sector. Greenland's artistic and literary communities get some funding from the government since the Greenlandic and Danish governments recognize the value of the arts in attracting tourists. However, the Inuit communities' robust creative history is by far the most important factor in the ongoing survival of Greenlandic arts.
Literature.
Inuit mythologies and moral codes, as well as the connection between the Inuit and the animals (seal, bear, walrus, whale, fox, etc.) on which they depended for existence, have long been central to Greenland's rich oral storytelling heritage (stories and songs). The most accomplished exponents of this art form are still held in high regard in Greenlandic society. While the tradition of writing and reading is still developing in Greenland, it is becoming more and more widespread.

This is Nuuk! - Greenland's Capital City Will Surprise You! (Cultural Travel Guide)

Founded as Godthåb by Hans Egede (The Apostle of Greenland), Nuuk is Greenland's capital and principal urban centre. As more Greenlanders become attracted to the capital's economic and cultural opportunities the pace of construction is relentless. This growth is both exciting and challenging. This short film provides some historical context as well as an overview of the sights and sounds. A particular thank you goes out to Ejvind Elsner of Atlantic Music for his hospitality and insight.

In response to the many negative comments about the comment in the film about the legacy of the missionary Hans Egede I would like to point out that this is not my personal view - it is the established Greenlandic view as expressed to visitors of the National Museum.
From the Greenland National Museum & Archive website:-
“The last 50 years have brought new perspectives on the significance of Hans Egede's influence on Greenland. In 1971, Greenland's 250th anniversary was celebrated in different ways, but largely expressed a very romantic notion of Hans Egede as a father-type figure to Greenland and the country's union with Christendom. Now in 2021, Hans Egede's arrival is seen in a more nuanced way. The focus is on reconciling a complicated past with the benefit of perspective and a more thoughtful understanding of the enduring influence of Christianity on Greenlandic society and culture. This includes changing political perspectives that have in recent years shifted public expressions of the 1721 anniversary from jubilant affairs to more respectful observances.”

Should you visit GREENLAND & Nuuk - shops, markets and culture

Hello everyone! This is the seventh video in my Iceland & Greenland series.

My adventures in Greenland, my 65th country (well, depending on how you count them), continues.

In this video, I get the chance to explore Nuuk on one of its busiest days of the year - Kids' Day. There are a lot of people out and about and I thought it was an ideal day to explore the cultural side of the capital.

I start my day with a quick bus journey around the city and talk with an interesting bus driver. Afterwards, I frequent a variety of shops, including clothing shops, the big Nuuk shopping mall, the tourist information office and local markets to name a few. I also meet some friendly local people along the way! The day ends with a Colour Run as part of the festivities - yours truly as a spectator only though!

At the end of the vlog, I also give my verdict on whether Nuuk is worth visiting after spending a few days there. I won't ruin the suspense for you, but there is a bit of a twist...

I Went to Greenland's Most Remote Town (Ittoqqortoormiit)

???? Get My Top 100 Travel Pics FREE!

WELCOME TO ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST ISOLATED PLACES - GREENLAND!

Today I arrived in one of the world's most remote villages, way out here on the rugged North Eastern shores of Greenland. It's called Ittoqqortoormiit (say that 5 times fast) and it's a fascinating place that feels like I'm on the moon!

Very few outsiders have ever visited this village because it's so remote, and I'm lucky to be one of them on board this Hurtigruten expedition!

Ittoqqortoormiit has a population of around 350 and the nearest town is thousands of kilometers away. The locals are called Inuits (the same ethnic group as Eskimos), and they survive from hunting and eating polar bears, walrus, seals, and whales.

Could you ever live here? Let me know in the comments below!

Exploring the world's smallest capital city: NUUK in GREENLAND!!!

The final stop in Greenland was to visit the capital, Nuuk, which means the headland and is located at the edge of a large peninsula at the mouth of a giant fjord system. It was founded in 1728 by the missionary Hans Egede, making it the oldest town in Greenland but also the world's smallest capital city with only 16,000 inhabitants.
The day of our visit was very cold, considering it was summer and very windy, so we tried to stay warm while seeing what we could!
Come explore with us!

THEY EAT NARWHAL AND BELUGA WHALE HERE! (Major culture shock in Nuuk, Greenland) #arctic #inuit

Welcome to one of the fastest growing capitals on Earth!

Nuuk is the bustling capital of Greenland, a microcosm of vibrant cosmopolitan energy on the west coast of the world's largest island nation. This city of 17,000 people is home to the Inuit people, an Asian indigenous group that migrated from Siberia centuries ago, settling in the far reaches of northern Russia, Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. Their vibrant Inuit culture is evident not only through the numerous carvings that dot the city center, but also in the uniqueness of their cuisine: narwhal, beluga, reindeer, muskox, and seal meat are all widely available for consumption.

On my first day in Greenland's bustling capital, I take a walk through its modern downtown core, replete with shops and restaurants galore that are sure to satisfy even the most finicky of travelers. In this video, I'll take you to some of the city's best eateries and sightseeing spots, from the Katuaq Cultural Center with its exquisite cafe (where I enjoy a latte and a wild hot dog made of muskox and reindeer meat, wrapped in bacon!), to the bare-bones Cafe Mamaq, to the laid-back vibes of Cafe Pascucci. With so much variety and energy in this vibrant city, you'll quickly forget that you're in the remote Arctic and wonder how this is even possible.

This is the first of FOUR vlogs highlighting this amazing capital! Be sure to check my other instalments for tours of the city's beautiful Old Town and the amazing Greenland National Museum.

NUUK - Travel in Nuuk, Greenland

Adventure, incredible hiking, fishing and boat rides - it doesn’t get much more picturesque than Greenland and nowhere more so than the capital city Nuuk.

If you loved our look at Nuuk, check out the site for more articles on Greenland - - and make sure to SUBSCRIBE for tons of travel porn, including two more episodes in Southern Greenland -

✈✈✈

Nuuk is the capital of Greenland, and with about 17,000 residents, it holds almost a quarter of the population of the whole country.

In this episode, Brianna and Macca discover what the city has to offer and go on some epic adventures just outside of it.

There is a lot going on in this big city with a small town feel, from nightlife to concerts and more and more restaurants popping up.

Within minutes in any direction, you can find a gorgeous look out point.

We met up with Anna Nivika, a local food blogger who is really changing the way that Greenlanders use food.

We had to try some for ourselves, and got to experience a traditional Greenlandic BBQ on the beach at Inuk Hostels.

We went on two tours with Touring Greenland that blew us away. First, we visited the abandoned settlement of Kangeq and loved it so much that we planned another.

We went on the most incredible hike amongst mountains, streams and snow, ending up at the edge of a giant waterfall. We were met with a boat that picked us up and took us fishing for our dinner.

Once we had caught it, we visited a restaurant that cooked our fish for us, along with a plethora of other delicious treats.

Nuuk (Greenland) Fjord Adventure - Whales and Waterfalls with Nuuk Water Taxi

Greenland's capital Nuuk is surrounded by one of the most extensive fjord systems in the world. Lacking road connections with the rest of the country, the locals take to their boats to escape into the fjords at any availability opportunity - and it's not hard to see why. The area is blessed with towering peaks, waterfalls, dramatic icebergs and, to top it all, a multitude of whales!
There are a number of operators offering trips into the fjords. We took an evening cruise with Nuuk Water Taxi - and would highly recommend them.
