Itinerary details
Today, we will fly from Copenhagen to Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, officially beginning an exciting summer journey through Greenland.

Upon arrival, you will feel Nuuk's unique rhythm: colorful traditional Inuit houses coexist with modern architecture, cafés, and an Arctic urban atmosphere shaped by harbor life. This is Greenland's cultural and creative center, home to rich art venues and educational institutions, including the imposing National Museum of Greenland, the modern-design Katuaq Culture Centre, and various exhibition spaces showcasing Greenland's nature and history.

These exhibitions often present unique perspectives on Greenland's nature, history and culture, immersing you in a rich creative atmosphere.
