Nuuk

Nuuk, a small city in Greenland, is located along the south-west coast of Greenland. Its unspoiled and beautiful nature, ancient history and old traditions make the city the ideal destination for those who want to discover local culture. The name of the city, which perfectly represents its cultural identity, means 'peak/promontory' and it derives from the shape of the land. This was not the original name of the city, but it was given to the city in 1979.

The history of the city has ancient origins, the first settlements dated back to 2200 B.C by aboriginal population. Then, the vikings occupied and dominated the city for more than five centuries. In 1450 they left the territory. Even though its ancient history, the city was officialy founded in 1728 when Hans Edge reached the territory to convert local population to the Lutheran church. The city has rich cultural tradition mainly linked to aboriginal populations. It is estimated that the city has the highest number of these people compared to the other cities of the country. The city is the perfect mix of aboriginal culture and Danish influence.

For example, their presence is still visible in the colorful detached houses located in all the city. Among all the activities offered by the city, the most attractive is the view of the aurora borealis. The view of this spectacle is a moving sight. The best period to attend this unique spectacle is from August to April. Nuuk has an important port for tourists who want to discover Greenland and North America. The port hosts many cruise ships, offering tourists the opportunity to visit the city and the entire country.
