Frequently Asked Questions about vacation rentals in Greenland
What are the must-see places in Greenland?
Greenland offers a breathtaking array of landscapes. For iconic views, Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a must-see, showcasing colossal icebergs calving from the glacier. Nuuk, the capital city, offers a blend of modern life and Greenlandic culture, with the National Museum of Greenland and the Hans Egede Church being highlights. For a glimpse into traditional Inuit life, consider visiting a smaller settlement like Qaqortoq in South Greenland, known for its charming red houses and historical sites. Exploring the East Coast's dramatic fjords and mountains offers a completely different experience.
What are the best Airbnb and vacation rentals in Greenland?
What are the typical activities to do in Greenland?
Greenland's activities cater to adventure seekers and nature lovers. Dog sledding across the snowy landscapes is a classic winter experience, while kayaking amidst icebergs in the summer is equally thrilling. Hiking offers stunning views, with trails ranging from easy walks to challenging treks. Wildlife watching opportunities abound, with whales, seals, and various bird species frequently sighted. For a unique cultural experience, visit a local settlement and learn about traditional crafts and ways of life.
Which part of Greenland offers the most pleasant climate?
Greenland's climate varies significantly across regions. South Greenland generally experiences the mildest temperatures, with Qaqortoq being a relatively warmer area. However, even in the south, expect cool summers and chilly winters. The west coast tends to be slightly warmer than the east coast due to the influence of the West Greenland Current. No part of Greenland has a truly 'pleasant' climate in the traditional sense, but South Greenland offers the most moderate conditions.
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 from various European cities. Nuuk Airport (GOH) also serves international flights, though with fewer options. Several smaller airports around the country cater to domestic flights, connecting different regions within Greenland. It's best to check flight availability and routes with airlines operating in Greenland.

Are there specific challenges to driving in Greenland that visitors should know?
Driving in Greenland presents unique challenges. Many roads are unpaved and can be rough, especially in remote areas. Weather conditions can change rapidly, with snow and ice even during summer months in certain regions. Rental cars are available in some areas but may not be suitable for all routes. Four-wheel-drive vehicles are often necessary for venturing beyond main roads. Always check road conditions before embarking on any journey.
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 its unique culture and heritage. The Nuuk Arts Festival showcases Greenlandic and international art, music, and performances. Various local festivals in smaller settlements celebrate traditional crafts, music, and storytelling, often tied to specific seasons or historical events. Specific dates vary, so checking local event listings closer to your travel dates is recommended.
What is the best time of year to visit Greenland?
The best time to visit depends on your interests. Summer (June-August) offers the warmest temperatures and the midnight sun in northern regions, ideal for hiking, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. Winter (November-March) provides opportunities for dog sledding, snowmobiling, and witnessing the Northern Lights. Shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) offer a quieter experience with fewer crowds.
What are some local dishes to try in Greenland?
Traditional Greenlandic cuisine features ingredients like seal, whale, and fish. Mattak (whale skin and blubber) is a unique delicacy. Try Suaasat (a traditional soup made with seal or whale meat) or Umiak (a type of bread). Many restaurants also offer more internationally influenced dishes.
What emergency numbers should you know in case of a medical or security issue in Greenland?
For medical emergencies, dial 112. For police or security issues, also dial 112. This number connects to emergency services across Greenland.
What etiquette tips are important when visiting Greenland?
Respectful behavior towards local customs and traditions is important. Asking permission before taking photographs of people is courteous. Learn a few basic Greenlandic phrases – it's appreciated. Be mindful of the environment and pack out any trash. Dress warmly, even during summer months.
What are the best areas to spend a week in Greenland?
A week allows for exploring multiple regions. A possible itinerary could include Nuuk (2 days), Ilulissat (3 days) focusing on the Icefjord, and a smaller settlement like Sisimiut or Qaqortoq (2 days) for cultural immersion. This balances city exploration with nature experiences.
What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Greenland?
For a weekend, focus on one main area. Nuuk offers a good balance of city exploration and access to nearby hiking trails. Alternatively, Ilulissat provides an intense experience focused on the Icefjord and its stunning scenery. Travel time between locations should be considered when planning a short trip.
What are the top shopping destinations in Greenland?
Nuuk has the most extensive shopping options, with a variety of shops selling souvenirs, handicrafts, clothing, and groceries. Smaller settlements will have smaller shops offering local crafts and necessities. For unique Greenlandic handicrafts, look for shops selling items made from sealskin, bone, or other traditional materials.
What are some off-the-beaten-path places to explore in Greenland?
The East Coast of Greenland offers a truly remote and adventurous experience, with dramatic fjords, mountains, and limited tourist infrastructure. Many smaller settlements beyond the main tourist routes offer opportunities to experience traditional Greenlandic life and breathtaking scenery. However, access to these areas requires careful planning and potentially specialized transportation.
