The history of Nuuk is a blend of traditional Inuit culture and modern Danish influences. The Nuuk Art Museum gives visitors a glance into Greenland's art and culture. It holds an extensive collection of works by Greenlandic artists, from traditional artifacts to modern installations.
There's a surprising amount of things to see and do for those willing to venture to this remote part of the world. Just a short walk from the art museum is the National Museum of Greenland, where you can learn about the history and life of the Inuit people. The museum's exhibits include mummies from the 15th century and hunting equipment used by early settlers.
Nuuk is surrounded by one of the world's largest fjord systems, where you can spot seals, whales and icebergs.
And when it comes to food, Nuuk offers a unique culinary experience. Traditional Greenlandic cuisine is based on local ingredients like fish, seal and reindeer. However, there are also plenty of options for international cuisine.
The city's climate can be harsh, with long cold winters and short cool summers. The best time to visit is from June to September.
The Katuaq Cultural Centre is another place worth visiting. It hosts concerts, exhibitions, and film screenings. The building itself is a piece of modern Nordic architecture with an interesting wave-like design inspired by the Northern Lights and icebergs.
