Frequently asked questions about hotels in Greenland
What are the best landmarks to visit in Greenland?
Greenland boasts incredible natural landmarks. For breathtaking icebergs, Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a must-see. The colourful houses of Ilulissat itself are also picturesque. For a glimpse into Greenlandic history and culture, visit the National Museum of Greenland in Nuuk, showcasing the country's rich heritage. Sermersooq, near Nuuk, offers stunning mountain scenery and hiking opportunities.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Greenland?
Greenland offers diverse activities. Dog sledding across the snowy landscapes is a classic experience, especially in winter. In summer, kayaking amongst the icebergs in Disko Bay provides unforgettable views. Hiking in the stunning scenery of national parks like the Northeast Greenland National Park is another popular option. Whale watching tours, particularly around Ilulissat, offer chances to spot humpback whales, minke whales, and orcas.
The best time depends on your interests. June to August offers the midnight sun and warmer temperatures, ideal for hiking and kayaking. September to May is better for winter activities like dog sledding and snowmobiling, although temperatures will be very cold. Keep in mind that even in summer, temperatures can be unpredictable, so pack layers regardless of the season.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Greenland?
Which areas are best for spending a week in Greenland?
For a week, consider exploring South Greenland, focusing on Nuuk, the capital, and its surrounding areas like Sermersooq for hiking and exploring fjords. Alternatively, basing yourself in Ilulissat in West Greenland allows you to experience the magnificent Ilulissat Icefjord and go on various boat tours. Both areas provide a good mix of cultural and natural attractions.
What are the best pet friendly hotels in Greenland?
Which parts of Greenland are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a short trip, Nuuk offers a good blend of city exploration and access to nearby hiking trails in Sermersooq. Alternatively, a weekend in Ilulissat allows for a taste of the stunning icefjord and iceberg views, though it requires more travel time.
What are the best hotels with jacuzzi in Greenland?
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Greenland?
Renting a car is generally not recommended for most of Greenland due to limited road networks. Public transport and organised tours are more practical options for exploring the majority of areas. However, car rental might be possible in certain areas, but it is advisable to check availability and road conditions beforehand.
Are credit cards widely accepted in Greenland?
Credit cards are widely accepted in larger towns and cities like Nuuk and Ilulissat in most hotels, restaurants and shops. However, smaller settlements and rural areas may still prefer cash, so it's wise to carry some Danish Krone (DKK), as this is the official currency.
What are the largest airports in Greenland?
The largest airports are Kangerlussuaq Airport (SFJ) and Nuuk Airport (GOH). Kangerlussuaq serves as a major hub for domestic flights, while Nuuk Airport serves the capital city. Many other smaller airports exist, serving more remote communities.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about in Greenland?
Respect for nature and local culture is paramount. Asking permission before taking photographs of people is polite. Being mindful of noise levels, especially in smaller communities, is appreciated. Learning a few basic Greenlandic phrases is also a thoughtful gesture.
What local specialties should you try in Greenland?
Try mattak (whale skin), a traditional delicacy. Also, sample the unique flavours of dried fish, often served with a local bread. Suut, a type of seal, is another traditional dish. For a sweet treat, try Greenlandic coffee and pastries.
Where are the best shopping spots in Greenland?
Nuuk offers the most extensive shopping options, with a variety of shops selling handicrafts, clothing, and souvenirs. Smaller towns and settlements will have smaller shops offering local crafts and necessities. The best place to find unique local crafts is often directly from local artisans or at small shops in different settlements.
What signature events or festivals take place in Greenland?
The Greenland National Day on June 21st is a significant celebration. Various local festivals and events are held throughout the year in different communities, often celebrating local traditions and arts, but specific dates vary.
What’s the best place in Greenland for mild and comfortable weather?
Even in summer, Greenland's weather is unpredictable. The southern areas generally experience slightly milder temperatures than the north, but nowhere in Greenland offers consistently mild weather. The warmest temperatures are typically found in the south during the summer months.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Greenland?
Underestimating the unpredictable weather is a common mistake. Not booking accommodation and tours in advance, especially during peak season, can also lead to difficulties. Overlooking the need for appropriate clothing and gear for the chosen activities is another frequent oversight.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Greenland?
The many smaller settlements and villages offer a more intimate experience of Greenlandic culture. Exploring the hiking trails in less-visited national parks and fjords provides opportunities for stunning scenery and solitude. Consider taking a boat trip to explore some of the more remote fjords and islands.
