There are so many highlights in this fascinating country that it is impossible to list them all here. Our travel consultants will discuss your interests and be able to put a specific itinerary together for you, but below are a few must see’s!
Ilimanaq
Experience the breathtaking beauty of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ilulissat Icefjord as you sail past enormous icebergs in one of the oldest settlements in Greenland. Ilimanaq Lodge, a modern and luxurious eco-lodge, sits at the edge of North Greenland and offers a unique blend of old and new with its carefully restored colonial buildings.
Qaqortoq
Nestled amidst lush rolling hills adorned with vibrant houses, Qaqortoq offers a diverse blend of art, culture, Nordic heritage, and outdoor pursuits. The town boasts an array of sculptures created by renowned artists from Greenland and Scandinavia. The nation’s oldest fountain anchors Qaqortoq’s charming colonial downtown, and it’s an ideal spot to engage in cultural activities and observe daily life alongside the locals.
Sisimiut
Sisimiut is renowned as Greenland’s adventure travel hub, attracting hikers and cross-country skiers from all corners of the world to explore its broad valleys and steep mountains. The phrase “Nature beings” encapsulates the allure of its spectacular backcountry, promising unrivalled views and the freedom to roam through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Aasivissuit-Nipisat area.
Nuuk
Nuuk, the largest city in Greenland, is a unique capital unlike any other in the world. Due to its small population of less than 20,000 people, air pollution is minimal, and the peak hour lasts only about 15 minutes. Additionally, Nuuk’s modern city centre provides easy access to the Nuuk Fjord, one of the largest fjord systems in the world, which is just a few minutes’ walk away. Alternatively, a drive of less than 10 minutes will take you to the base of the tall mountains that mark the entrance to an extensive backcountry. The views from both locations are breathtaking and unparalleled.
