Frequently asked questions about holiday rentals in Greenland
What are the must-see places in Greenland?
Greenland offers incredible diversity. For breathtaking icebergs, Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a must. For stunning scenery and hiking, consider the East Greenland National Park, the largest national park in the world. Nuuk, the capital city, provides a glimpse into Greenlandic culture and history, with museums and colourful houses. For a more remote experience, the remote settlements of Ittoqqortoormiit and Kulusuk offer unique opportunities to experience traditional Inuit life.
What are the best Airbnb and holiday rentals in Greenland?
What are the typical activities to do in Greenland?
Greenland's activities are as diverse as its landscape. Dog sledding and snowmobiling are popular winter activities, while kayaking and hiking are ideal for summer. Whale watching tours are widely available, offering chances to see humpback whales, orcas, and minke whales. Ice climbing and glacier walks are also thrilling options for adventure seekers. Visiting local settlements and experiencing Inuit culture through traditional crafts and storytelling are enriching experiences.
Which part of Greenland offers the most pleasant climate?
Greenland's climate is generally arctic or subarctic, so defining 'pleasant' is subjective. The southernmost areas, such as the area around Narsarsuaq, experience slightly milder temperatures and more sunshine during summer, although it's still cool. The west coast generally has warmer temperatures than the east coast due to the influence of the West Greenland Current.
What are the best rentals for families and kids in Greenland?
What airport options are there for reaching Greenland?
Kangerlussuaq Airport (SFJ) is the main international airport, with connections to various European cities. Nuuk Airport (GOH) serves the capital city and offers domestic flights. Other airports like Ilulissat Airport (JAV) and Narsarsuaq Airport (UAK) serve specific regions, primarily with domestic connections.
What are the best rentals or Airbnbs with a jacuzzi in Greenland?
Are there specific challenges to driving in Greenland that visitors should know?
Driving in Greenland presents unique challenges. Much of the road network is gravel, and conditions can be unpredictable, especially in winter. Many areas are only accessible by boat or helicopter. Four-wheel drive vehicles are often recommended, and it's essential to be prepared for long distances between settlements and potential delays due to weather.
What currency is used in Greenland?
The Danish krone (DKK) is the official currency used in Greenland.
What are the top festivals to experience in Greenland?
Greenland's festivals often celebrate Inuit culture and traditions. The Nuuk International Film Festival showcases films from around the world with an emphasis on Arctic cultures. Various local festivals celebrate national holidays and traditional events, but specific dates change annually, so checking local listings closer to your travel dates is recommended.
What is the best time of year to visit Greenland?
The best time depends on your interests. For hiking and kayaking, summer (June to August) offers the best weather, though it can still be cool. Winter (November to March) is ideal for dog sledding and northern lights viewing, but be prepared for extreme cold and limited daylight.
What are some local dishes to try in Greenland?
Traditional Greenlandic cuisine uses locally sourced ingredients. Mattak (whale skin) and Suaasat (fermented seal) are unique dishes to try, though not for everyone. Try also the more widely palatable dishes like Umiak (a type of soup), and various dishes featuring fish and seafood.
What emergency numbers should you know in case of a medical or security issue in Greenland?
For medical emergencies, dial 112. For police and security issues, also dial 112.
What etiquette tips are important when visiting Greenland?
Respect for Inuit culture is paramount. Asking permission before taking photographs of people is crucial. Being mindful of noise levels, especially in smaller settlements, is appreciated. Learning a few basic Greenlandic phrases is a thoughtful gesture.
What are the best areas to spend a week in Greenland?
A week allows for a more in-depth exploration. Combining Nuuk (for culture) with a trip to Ilulissat Icefjord (for nature) is a popular choice. Alternatively, exploring South Greenland, perhaps focusing on Narsarsuaq and its surrounding fjords, offers a different perspective.
What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Greenland?
For a weekend, focusing on one area is best. Nuuk provides a good overview of Greenlandic life and culture, offering museums, historical sites, and opportunities for short hikes. Ilulissat is another excellent choice, offering stunning views of the Icefjord, although a weekend might feel rushed.
What are the top shopping destinations in Greenland?
Nuuk offers the best shopping opportunities, with a range of shops selling handicrafts, souvenirs, and everyday goods. Smaller settlements will have limited options, primarily focusing on essential supplies.
What are some off-the-beaten-path places to explore in Greenland?
Ittoqqortoormiit in East Greenland offers a truly remote experience, accessible only by boat or helicopter. Similarly, smaller settlements in less-visited regions provide unique insights into traditional Inuit life and stunning, untouched landscapes. Always check accessibility and plan accordingly for such remote areas.
