Nuuk
Nuuk is the perfect start when discovering Greenland and is the heart of the world's largest island. This Arctic city is the capital of Greenland. Nowadays, travelers sometimes skip Nuuk and go directly to North Greenland; However, this city, located 150 miles south of Arctic Circle, is well worth a visit and can teach you a lot about Greenland's rich history.
Don't be surprised when Nuuk greets you with strong coffee in cozy cafés, modern international restaurants, and of course, historical museums.

Sisimiut
It is the capital of the municipality in the central part of West Greenland and the second largest city in Greenland today.
It is easy to find entertainment here for everyone. Sisimiut offers both winter as well as summer sport activities. If you are fan of active sports - try summer sailing.
