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.”

The Greenland Ice Sheet
The Greenland ice sheet is one of only two polar ice caps and covers around 80% of Greenland.
Historically, the ice sheet was rather deserted as Greenlanders preferred to stay on sea ice with access to fertile waters below. Now, thanks to aircraft, boats, and most importantly, wanderlust, the Greenland Ice Sheet has since become a popular spot for travelers in search of unmistakable Arctic adventure.
You can see the Greenland ice sheet from almost all towns across Greenland. If you would like to experience it up close though, the only road that leads to the Greenland ice sheet is located in Kangerlussuaq. Although a bit bumpy it delivers you directly to the edge of the ice sheet and offers views that are unique only to 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.

48 Hours in Greenland: Inuits, Icebergs and Insane Hikes
48 Hours in Greenland - Icebergs, Colorful Houses and Fjord Adventures
No, Greenland is not for sale, but it is open for business and well worth the trip!
A real dream for any traveler, Greenland is one of the most remote and mysterious countries on Earth. We got lucky enough to visit it in September and were absolutely stunned by this untouched country and its colorful capital Nuuk.
From the vast beauty of its beautiful landscapes to the joys of fishing your own dinner, through the discovery of ancient settlements and the cutest houses in the world, here’s our full guide to 48 Hours in Greenland.
48 Hours in Greenland | Day 1: Downtown Nuuk, Colorful Houses and Big Malene
With a direct Greenland Air flight to Nuuk from Copenhagen or Reykjavik, the Greenlandic capital is an absolute must-do when visiting Scandinavia and Northern Europe.
After our arrival in Nuuk and check-in in the Hotel Hans Egede, we headed off to discover downtown Nuuk and the beautiful colorful houses we saw so many pictures about.
Since Nuuk is small, we did all of downtown Nuuk on foot, from our hotel.
We started off visiting the Nuuk Cathedral, which is a tribute to the Christian influence on the nation, since the Inuits had different beliefs before Denmark settlements. The Cathedral is built in a similar Lutheran style compared to Icelandic churches - really worth the detour!
Right next to the Cathedral, we could visit the Nuuk National Museum and Cultural Center, which taught us a lot about Greenland, since in true Jeff and Anne fashion, we came without knowing much! Greenland has a long history of settlements, from the first Inuit settlers to the Danish in the last two centuries.
Dated to around 1475 AD, the oldest human remains found in Greenland are from Inuit mummies - we saw them in the museum, and warning, they’re quite chilling.
A little over the Museum you will find the famous Kolonihavn area, with its collection of wooden Inuit traditional houses, with an urban landscape filled with an amazing array of bright colors, from deep yellow to bright orange, from neon green to electric blue. What a view!
In the afternoon we attempted the summit of Big Malene, located in the most popular outdoor region of Nuuk, Quassussuaq.
The 2,493-foot-tall (761 m) Store Malene/Big Malene is a solid hike up to the peak, offering a great view of Nuuk, Akia (Nordlandet), Sermitsiaq and the Kangerluarsunnguaq Fjord with its spectacular glaciers.
All hiking trails are marked, the Big Malene being recognizable with its orange markings on the rocks alongside the trail.
You can take this hike with a guide, which we would recommend, however we attempted it on our own, being last minute as usual.
In dry weather, the ascent is pretty straightforward, albeit fairly difficult, but we attempted it with fog and rain and had to stop half way through due to too many slippery rocks. But we will be back, we said!
Since we couldn’t climb all the way up to Big Malene, we decided to go back and hike Lille Malene/Little Malene, around the same spot and offering impressive views of Nuuk, Akia, the surrounding regions and the spectacular sea.
Following this time the green markings on the rocks, we hiked around the lake for a couple hours, this time in dry weather!
Tip: The water in the streams is clean and drinkable! Bring a mug or bottle to scoop the water up with.
These two hikes are really the best outdoors trails to follow if you don’t have a car around Nuuk - accessible via bus number 1 from downtown Nuuk for 16 krones each (about $2.5), stopping in Qinngorput and heading from there. Our hotel had a hiking map of Nuuk which was also very helpful!
We took 2 boat tours during this trip, both with Nuuk Water Taxi in an open boat, with full life suits (did you see our video?).
The first tour was an amazing fishing and eat-your-own-fish boat tour, bringing us an hour boat ride away outside of Nuuk in Qooqqut Nuan to fish our dinner. We both caught fished in less than a minute in 65-meters deep water (brrr) and were brought to the unique restaurant on the island for them to cook it for us. Can’t beat it! The dinner was delicious, complete with soup, steamed and fried fish and rice, potatoes and vegetables.

Exploring Nuuk, Greenland with a Local Guide - (Nuuk Walking Tour) - Travel vlog
Explore Nuuk, Greenland with a local Greenlandic guide as we walk through the streets of Nuuk and provide some important information and facts that might be helpful to people planning a trip to Nuuk or people who are interested in learning more about Nuuk, the capital of Greenland.
“Nuuk” is the Greenlandic word for “cape” and is named for its position at the mouth of the Nuup Kangerlua Fjord (otherwise known as the Nuuk Fjord) – the second largest fjord system in the world. The Narsap Sermia glacier flows directly into the fjord. Nuuk is the northernmost capital in the world if you don’t include Reykjavik. Nuuk was founded in 1728 by the missionary Hans Egede after he left his first settlement at the nearby ”Island of Hope”. The population is approximately 16800.
As I walk through the streets of Nuuk with the local guide, you will see Nuuk old harbor, Nuuk Cathedral, Hans Egede statue, Nuuk water taxi station, Nuuk boardwalk, Nuuk center (Nuuk shopping mall), Nuuk Katuaq center (Nuuk cultural center), Nuuk Tupilak Travel office, and many other beautiful sites.
At the end of the video, you will see the old apartment complexes that the Greenlandic government built back in the 1960s and 1970s when they forced people to move from some settlements to Nuuk.

12 Facts about Greenland That You Might Not Know
Greenland is without a doubt the destination in the Arctic that sees the fewest tourists in the summer and is also the one that the least amount of people are familiar with. It is also one of the most fascinating locations in the world. Greenland is enormously enormous and incredibly white, two features that undoubtedly both contribute to the attractiveness and make it more than a bit frightening to plan a visit. If you have ever taken even a cursory look at a global map, you are bound to be aware of these facts. Greenland is an Arctic conservation area comparable to only a few others, both on land and within the oceans that shape it, and it is populated by a historic Inuit culture that has developed to the rhythm of its own drum. However, size and ice aren't the only things that Greenland has going for it; there is so much more to it than that.
Before you start making travel plans to Greenland, you should familiarize yourself with the following really fun facts about Greenland. Take a look:
1. Greenland Really Was Green
Why is Greenland still named Greenland if it is always frozen over? Greenland is a white Arctic country because of all the snow and ice that blankets it. If it's not green, then why is it called Greenland? Well, this surely is one of the most interesting facts about Greenland that you might not know. But don’t worry, the story isn’t that complex. The murderer Erik the Red of Iceland, who was sent there, is responsible for the island's unusual moniker. He chose the name Greenland in the belief that it would encourage immigration. South Greenland (where Erik the Red made his home) is surprisingly lush during the summer months. According to researchers, however, Greenland was a lush greenery over 2.5 million years ago. New research shows that ancient earth was chilled kept for millions of years, buried beneath roughly two miles of ice.
2. World’s Largest Island
Greenland is a huge island, around the area of Western Europe. Remember that it is the world's 12th biggest nation while making plans for your trip. When additional islands in the vicinity are included in, the total land surface of Greenland rises to 2.16 million square kilometers (836,330 sq miles). An arctic ice extends over about 80 percent of whole land area. While the ice-free region is small compared to the rest of the planet, it is nevertheless around the area of Sweden. Among the world's least populous nations, its 56,480 residents make it a rarity in terms of population density.
3. Greenland is an Autonomous country
Another fun fact about Greenland is that in spite of being a part of Denmark, Greenland operates independently as a sovereign nation. Greenland has really been historically and culturally linked to Europe for the better part of a thousand years, despite its North American location. Denmark has had settlements in Greenland as of 1721; in 1953, the nation officially became a part of Denmark. After being awarded Home Rule by Denmark in 1979, Greenland was then inaugurated into extended Self Rule in 2009, providing even more authority and responsibility to the Greenlandic government. Greenland will be able to take up additional duties from Denmark in accordance with the new framework as and when it is ready to do so.
4. Greenland has the lowest population density of almost any country on the planet.
Despite its size, the city is home to barely 56,000 people. That translates to a population density of only 0.03 individuals per square kilometer. There is plenty of space to be alone even in the nation's capital, as the population is not fairly spread out and no one lives in the great majority of the island.

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.
