Frequently Asked Questions about hotels in Greenland
What are the best landmarks to visit in Greenland?
Greenland boasts incredible natural landmarks. Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a must-see, showcasing colossal icebergs calving from the glacier. The colorful houses of Ilulissat itself are also a charming sight. For a historical perspective, visit the National Museum of Greenland in Nuuk, showcasing Greenlandic history and culture. Another highlight is the breathtaking scenery of the East Greenland National Park, the largest national park in the world. Qaqortoq's charming harbor and red-roofed houses offer a picturesque view.
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 winter experience. In summer, kayaking among the icebergs in the Ilulissat Icefjord is unforgettable. Hiking is popular, with numerous trails catering to different skill levels, offering stunning views. Whale watching tours are common, particularly around Disko Bay, where you might spot humpback whales, orcas, and minke whales. Visiting a local settlement to experience the Inuit culture firsthand is also highly recommended.
The best time to visit depends on your priorities. For the midnight sun and warmer temperatures, June to August is ideal. This is also peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. For a chance to see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), visit between September and April, when the nights are long and dark. Keep in mind that winter brings extreme cold and limited daylight.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Greenland?
Which areas are best for spending a week in Greenland?
For a week-long trip, consider exploring South Greenland, focusing on Nuuk (the capital), and Qaqortoq, offering a blend of city life and stunning natural scenery. Alternatively, a week in West Greenland, concentrating on Ilulissat and its surrounding icefjord, provides an immersive experience of the Arctic landscape. Both options require flights between locations.
What are the best pet friendly hotels in Greenland?
Which parts of Greenland are perfect for a weekend getaway?
A weekend getaway is best suited for exploring a single area. Nuuk offers a good balance of culture and city life, with museums and historical sites. Alternatively, a trip to Ilulissat allows for stunning views of the icefjord, though it requires a flight. Qaqortoq also provides a charming experience within a shorter timeframe.
What are the best hotels with jacuzzi in Greenland?
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Greenland?
Renting a car isn't widely practical in Greenland. The road network is limited, particularly outside of the main towns. Many areas are only accessible by boat, helicopter, or domestic flights. Public transportation is also limited, so pre-arranged tours or domestic flights are usually the best option for travel between settlements.
Are credit cards widely accepted in Greenland?
Credit cards are widely accepted in larger towns and tourist areas, but it's always wise to carry some cash, especially in smaller settlements and for smaller purchases. ATMs are available in the main towns.
What are the largest airports in Greenland?
The largest airports are Kangerlussuaq Airport (SFJ) and Nuuk Airport (GOH). Kangerlussuaq is often used as a hub for international flights, while Nuuk Airport serves as the main airport for the capital city.
Are there any unwritten rules of behavior visitors should know about in Greenland?
Respect for local culture and traditions is paramount. Asking permission before taking photos of people is crucial. Being mindful of the environment and leaving no trace is also important. Learning a few basic Greenlandic phrases is appreciated.
What local specialties should you try in Greenland?
Mattak (whale skin), dried fish, and reindeer meat are traditional dishes. Try the local seafood, particularly the fresh Arctic char. For a sweet treat, sample the traditional Greenlandic bread.
Where are the best shopping spots in Greenland?
Nuuk offers the most extensive shopping opportunities, with a range of shops selling handicrafts, souvenirs, and clothing. Smaller settlements may have limited options, often focused on locally made crafts and necessities.
What signature events or festivals take place in Greenland?
The Greenlandic national holiday, celebrated on June 21st, is a significant event. Various local festivals and cultural events occur throughout the year, celebrating Inuit traditions and arts. Specific events vary by location and timing.
What’s the best place in Greenland for mild and comfortable weather?
South Greenland generally experiences the mildest temperatures, particularly around Qaqortoq. Even then, Greenland's weather is unpredictable, so packing layers is essential regardless of location.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Greenland?
Underestimating the weather conditions is a common mistake. Not booking accommodations and flights in advance, especially during peak season, can also lead to difficulties. Failing to pack appropriate clothing for all weather conditions is another frequent oversight.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Greenland?
Many smaller settlements offer unique experiences. Aasiaat, with its charming harbor and beautiful hiking trails, is one example. Exploring the less-visited fjords and hiking in less-traveled areas allows for more secluded experiences of Greenland's incredible nature.
