Ilulissat

Kangerlussuaq

Home to one of Greenland’s two international airports and it makes for a great entry point to the western coast. This is a small town, that really only grew around the airport.

Nuuk

Explore the old harbor, where the settlers first landed, then walk through the colorful houses that dot the streets and the cliffs.

Narsarsuaq

Tasiilaq and Eastern Greenland

It’s really more of a village however but well worth a visit purely to enjoy its remote isolation. This is really what Greenland is all about.

Northeast Greenland National Park

Much of this encompasses a huge ice sheet, but the coastline contains fjords, an endless array of icebergs and untouched scenery.
