Itinerary

A day-by-day plan to guide your arctic adventure.

  • Day 1: Arrival in Greenland

    Fly from Iceland to Nuuk, Greenland's friendly capital city that also happens to be the world‘s smallest capital. After arriving you will be transferred to your hotel, and then you can spend the rest of the day exploring the town, perhaps with a walk down to the old city centre by the harbour, before enjoying an included dinner.

    Spend the next four nights in Nuuk.

    Attractions
  • Day 2: National Museum & Old Colonial Harbour

    Spend the next few days experiencing Nuuk and it's surroundings at your leisure! We recommend visiting the old harbour, with great views over the old part of Nuuk. There you will find the Greenland National Museum, which showcases over 4000 years of Greenlandic history, including well-preserved Inuit mummies discovered in the 1960s. If you’re interested in seeing more of the old vs. new contrasts, check out the architecturally-renowned Katuaq cultural centre that displays various contemporary works by Greenlandic artists.

    Note: We highly recommend booking optional activities well in advance with your travel consultant at Nordic Visitor. Please note that some activities are subject to a minimum number of participants along with having specific travel departure dates. Contact your travel consultant for more details.
