Nuuk

Nuuk, a small town in Greenland, is located along the southwest coast of Greenland. Its unspoiled nature, of a unique beauty, its very ancient history and its old traditions make it an ideal place to get to know Greenlandic culture better. The name of the city, symbol of its cultural identity, means "head/promontory" and is linked to its physical conformation.

This name is not the original one, but it was assigned to the city only in 1979. The history of the city has very ancient origins, the first settlements date back to 2200 BC by Aboriginal populations. Later, the Vikings invaded the city and subjected it to their power for more than five centuries and then abandoned it around 1450. Despite its ancient history, the date of foundation of the city actually dates back to 1728 when missionary Hans Egede reached the territory on behalf of the crown of Denmark and Norway to convert the region to Lutheranism. The city has a rich cultural tradition mainly linked to the Aboriginal populations that inhabit the territory.

It is estimated that the city has the highest rate of Aboriginal population compared to any other city in the country. The city is a perfect mix of Aboriginal culture and Danish influence. The presence of the latter in the region is still visible today, for example in the colorful single-family houses scattered throughout the city. Among the many activities offered by the city, the one that attracts the largest number of tourists every year is the aurora borealis. The ideal period to witness this spectacle is from August to April. Nuuk is an important port for cruise ships to discover Greenland and North America. The port always welcomes numerous cruise ships, offering passengers the opportunity to explore the city and the rest of the country.

Tasiilaq

Tasiilaq (also called Ammassalik or Angmagssalik in Danish) is a town located on the east coast of Greenland; it belongs to the municipality of Sermersooq. It is located on an island called Ammassalik Ø at the southern end of King Christian IX Land, in a small fjord surrounded by glacier-eroded rocks; this isolated position (the area was only contacted in 1884) makes it only accessible via a helicopter that departs from the airport of the nearby village of Kulusuk. It is made up of small colorful wooden houses; here is also the Polar Museum. Tasiilaq was also the head of a municipality, the municipality of Ammassalik. It was established on January 1, 1963, and ceased to exist on January 1, 2009, after the reform that revolutionized the internal subdivision system of Greenland; the municipality of Ammassalik joined 4 other municipalities and formed the current municipality of Sermersooq.
