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.

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.”

Exploring Nuuk, Greenland (Walking Tour in Nuuk, the Capital of Greenland) - Travel vlog
Explore with me Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, as I walk through the streets of Nuuk.
“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, 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, Muggedalen, and many other beautiful sites.
At the end of the video, you will see a beautiful area known as Muggedalen. It gives a good view of the colorful houses of Nuuk along the seashore.

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...

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.

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.

Lost in GREENLAND - Meeting locals & first impressions of Nuuk
Hi everyone! This is the third video in my Iceland & Greenland series. In the previous episode, I flew from Reykjavik in Iceland to Nuuk in Greenland.
When you arrive at any new destination, you need to find your feet and orientate yourself. Greenland and Nuuk, its capital, is no exception.
I took to the streets early morning, partly to form raw impressions of this remote, northernmost capital city of the world, but also because it is such an exciting, mysterious destination.
In this video, I walk all the way from my hotel in the harbour to the city centre. I visit a Greenlandic supermarket and was surprised to see that they have seemingly abundant supplies of certain items I did not expect them to have. I also met some locals in the centre who gave me directions and tips about the city, before venturing to the Hans Egede statue and enjoying spectacular views. Later on in the day I also stumbled across a local market and engaged with one of the merchants.
It is fair to say that this outing gave me a good introduction to Greenland and a solid baseline from which to explore Nuuk further in other vlogs! Please make sure that you watch my other vlogs of Nuuk as well!

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!

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.

The World's Strangest International Airport - Kangerlussuaq, Greenland (Cultural Travel Guide)
Kangerlussuaq has a fascinating history and an uncertain future. The former US airbase of Sondrestrom is currently the hub of Air Greenland's network and the only airport in the country that can accommodate the Airbus A330 that flies the daily lifeline link to Copenhagen. A small town of around 500 people services the airport, far from the major urban centres of Greenland. Local tour operators provide options for transiting passengers that include searching for musk oxen and driving to the ice cap. However, all that is about to change as new international airports are scheduled to open in Nuuk and Ilulissat in 2024. The future for Kangerlussuaq's airport and, more importantly, for its residents, is very much in doubt.

Air Greenland - Dash 8 200 - Reykjavík (KEF) to Nuuk (GOH) | TRIP REPORT
I flew from Iceland to Greenland on the world's longest Dash 8-200 flight (3 hours, 15 minutes)
Air Greenland serves Keflavík International Airport from Nuuk, the capital of Greenland (pop. 19,694). The airline is owned by the Greenlandic Government, and it operates a fleet of 28 aircraft: one A330neo used for transatlantic and charter flights, 9 propeller aircraft primarily serving the domestic network, and 19 helicopters that serve the remote settlements within Greenland and its rugged coastline.
Although Air Greenland's headquarters are in Nuuk, its main hub is located at Kangerlussuaq Airport. This small port city currently has the longest runway and the most reliable weather for the airline's daily jet flight to Copenhagen. This will all change in a few years when Nuuk Airport expands its runway to 6,560ft and constructs a brand new terminal. Concerns about Nuuk's unpredictable and often foggy weather are high, but Greenland wants to put Nuuk on the world map however it can.

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.

Nuuk Icefjord Boat Tour in Nuuk, Greenland - Travel vlog
Nuuk Icefiord boat tour is all about enjoying the scenery and typically includes Sermitsiaq mountains and an impressive waterfall along the way. This tour is a full-day excursion and can take up to 8 hours. It is operated by Nuuk Water Taxi.
This boat tour goes into the Icefiord north of Nuuk, where most icebergs in and around the Nuuk fjord originate. You will see many icebergs along the way.
The boat sails past the abandoned settlement of Qoornoq. The tour includes lunch. The captain finds a good spot among the ice where you can enjoy the included lunch while listening to the glistening ice as bubbles of air are released when they slowly melt away.
After lunch, the boat sails to Camp Kangiusaq, where there is the opportunity to go for a walk and enjoy the beautiful surroundings in the area.
The tour is operated with a modern Targa cabin boat with a heating system, toilet, and comfortable indoor seatings. It is also possible to enjoy the cruise on the walkaround deck with comfortable seating outside. Lunch, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are included.
