Greenland’s capital city, Nuuk offers breathtaking natural scenery, fun and friendly locals, world class restaurants, and a rich historical heritage all wrapped up in a single stylish arctic metropolis. Most first time visitors to Nuuk are surprised by just how cosmopolitan Nuuk has become. However, despite having all the conveniences of a modern town, a stroll through the colonial Old Town and the Old Harbor will reveal that despite its modernisation, remnants of the past are hiding at every turn. Visitors can view Greenland’s famous mummies, as well as historical costumes and amulets at Greenland’s National Museum while the Nuuk Museum of Art hosts cultural and historical exhibitions showcasing both new and old expressions of Inuit culture. Outdoor enthusiasts are equally well catered for with a range of adventurous activities on offer including: whale watching, sailing, cross country skiing or hiking the peaks of the nearby Sermitsiaq or Lille Malene mountains. All of these cultural and outdoor activities make Nuuk a captivating destination as well as an excellent base for exploring the extraordinary natural scenery of the surrounding area.
