Ilulissat is located on the western coast of Greenland at the southern end of Disko Bay, the country’s premier tourist region. The city is situated at the mouth of the immense Ilulissat Ice Fjord. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ilulissat Ice Fjord is a geographical marvel, where a constantly advancing glacier slowly feeds icebergs into the fjord. Hiking is very popular in the mountains and around the lakes of the region, and there are also opportunities for fishing and dog-sledding. In terms of cultural sights, the Ilulissat Museum pays homage to the explorer Knud Rasmussen, and the Ilulissat Art Museum holds works by Emanuel A. Petersen among others. Finally, boat trips to scenic Disko Island are easily organised via the company Disko Line.
