Greenland’s capital Nuuk means "the headland" and is situated at the tip of a large peninsula at the mouth of a 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 is a major fjord system, which 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 from early summer to the onset of autumn frequent the waters just outside the town. In addition, helicopter trips to the ice sheet and Norse ruins are popular combination excursions, as are visits to settlements by boat. Also recommended is a visit to the art museum and the city council chamber, which is decorated by large tapestries with motifs from Greenlandic culture and nature.
