Whether you are interested in Inuit or Norse history, ice or minerals of all types, hunting and fishing or just magnificent scenery, then South Greenland has it all.

The towns of Narsaq, Qaqortoq, Nanortalik and the gateway of Narsarsuaq are particularly good starting points from which to experience the culture and nature of the region. The small sheep-holding stations and settlements such as Qassiarsuk, Igaliku and Alluitsup Paa are also popular tourist attractions. Excursions and attractions in South Greenland offer something for everyone: Hiking, fishing, farm holidays and visits to the ruins of Norse churches and farms, or more challenging experiences such as kayaking or climbing, to name but a few possibilities.
Nuuk – West Greenland
Greenland’s capital Nuuk means “the headland” and is situated at the tip of a large peninsula at the mouth of the gigantic fjord complex. Nuuk is also the oldest town in Greenland. Nuuk is a hectic city in Greenlandic terms, but that is rarely the impression that visitors get of the world’s smallest capital city with just 15,000 inhabitants.
Outside Nuuk there is a major fjord system, wich is particularly well-suited to ocean-going attractions. Whale safaris are organized that enable you to get close to the many humpback and minke whales, which frequent the waters just outside the town from early summer to the onset of autumn. In addition, helicopter trips to the ice sheet and Norse ruins are popular excursions. Also recommended is a visit to the art museum and the city council chamber.
