Greenland Travel Guide

Sadly the book store is no more, I understand that there is now a large shopping centre located right on the top of where this once stood.Thanks to "The View" (aka Allan) for the information!

the national museum. It holds an ethnographic collection with little historical displays of living standards and different geographic and historical dresses. The jewel in the collection is 4 people buried in there full dresses in the year 1475 their cause of dead is unknown, their bodies have been very well preserved. The most touching is the...

Nuuk has puplic busses, they run at timetables you find at the bus shelters. The bus stops has numbers os even if you can not pronouns the street names you can ask the driver to tell you when to get of or just be aware of the numbers yourself. Price level is around 2€ for a single ride.

There is only the Hotel Kulusak restaurant, but if you are on day tour you wan't have much time, the fairly well stocked supermarket in the village next to the post office and the snack bar at the airport.The Hotel Kulusak restaurant about 2 km from the village and 500 meter from the airport.

There is a Souvenir Shop in the village, some very nice but expensive things and postcards, but closed the day i was there, the tour guide had a key and was selling the things, the credit card reader did not work, it was possible to pay with €, $, £ and Danish Kronen or a mix of those (good exchange rate), but it had to be exact (or more, be...

The birthplace of Knud Rasmussen is now a little nice museum over his explodes and ethnographic work in Greenland and artic North America.Knud Rasmussen (1879-1933) was an extraordinary traveller that gained worldwide recognition in his lifetime for his expeditions in Greenland and the artic North America. He grew up in Greenland with his Danish...

Ulo is clearly the best restaurant in Greenland named after the traditional woman's knife is also holds on to its locality as its focus around the local ingredients as the basis for the meals.

EVERYTHING in this part of Greenland is off the beaten path, but someplace that is definately to be visited if you can get out there are just some of the hills beyond D Launch. There is a beautiful little stream when the weather is warm enough for the snow to melt!There are also quite a few animals out in the summer. Some of the arctic hares are...

Unless you're coming on business, getting to Thule is a real chore. A military flight of the USA or an SAS contract flight out of Denmark are the flying options. You might also find passage on an icebreaker through the Arctic Sea or you could find your way from Southern Greenland via land (sturdy sled recommended)

Most people don't have a clue where Thule is, so I thought I'd put up a map, courtesy of Encarta.As you can see, there is not a whole lot of the world further north than Thule, which is located on the north west side of Greenland. While it is in the extreme north, it DOES get above freezing there. You have to go a bit further north to reach the...

The only supermarket in town …go and get used to the price level in Greenland.Adding more text does not make a tip any better …it just add more text ..Adding more text does not make a tip any better …it just add more text ..Adding more text does not make a tip any better …it just add more text ..Adding more text does not make a tip any better …it...

Just outside the airfield there is a river, in the summertime you can go and relax when you have to wait for your connection flight.This summer I had a little nap and woke up seeing musks oxen across the river a very nice way to wake up :D

I just like to remember the brightly coloured houses, built among the hills. It was almost toy-like and hard to imagine people living in such a remote place.

Make sure you don't miss the old cemetery. It's very picturesque and perhaps unlike cemeteries elsewhere. The crosses don't actually have names on as the Inuits believe that when the body dies, the name and soul live on. The name is then given to a new-born in the village.

I think this man was providing a demonstration as part of the tour, but I'm not certain!Kayaks are still used regularly in Kulusuk, even though many villagers have more modern luxuries as well.

Tulugaq is one of only two bars in town. It poses as a restaurant in the daytime and in the weekends it turns into a bar in the evening.https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tulugaq/554041837949596?fref=ts

A sledge dog ride is surely one of the must does, if you are visiting Greenland north of the polar circle. The legislation in Greenland stats that sledge dogs are the only dog bread allowed north of the polar circle and to the contraire disallowed south of the circle. This activity is naturally depending on the ice/snow cower you can assume the...

If you are in town for a visit there is only one way to get from the airport to town and you might also like to take a taxi around town. A trip from the airport to the town center will cost you around 110 DDK (20$). You will have to call the taxi company to get a cap to come and pick you up.

The Arctic Circle Race is a 160km, 3 day cross-country ski race that starts in Sisimiut. This year (2005) around 95 competitors participated in the race. The racers come from many countries and the abilities range from those just trying to finish (such as myself) to olympians and world cup athletes.The race course varies each year, but goes through...

I enjoyed walking around the harbour area. I watched a Royal Arctic freighter being loaded. You can also take a tour of the shrimp factory.
