It has always been a dream of mine to visit Greenland, see its natural wonders and explore the things to do in Greenland. In September 2018 I finally got the chance and flew to the capital to explore the things to do in Nuuk before going on a tour to the Greenland Ice Cap where I also saw the spectacular Northern Lights.
I chose Nuuk as it is a great base for independent travelers for several tour options, hikes and sights in and around the capital while also offering fairly reasonable prices. You can use this video as a guide for your visit to Greenland and you are free to leave more tips and recommendations for things to do in Nuuk in the comment section below!
All Things to do in Nuuk & Greenland as shown in this episode:
- Old Colonial Harbour of Nuuk

- Qooqqut

- About my Cooperation with Visit Greenland-

I like the way you travel to destinations where other fancy youtubers don't go and present it dignified and with high quality pictures. Thumbs up - one more destination on my list.

@BackPackerSteve 5 жыл бұрын

thanks for the nice words - I try to do my best to understand destinations and try to present them with a little more in-depth information. By working with the local tourism boards I get the chance to connect e.g. with local musicians like Nanook which was a fantastic way to get to know the music scene of the country. I'd love to do more on that scale. Thanks for watching!

@MoochiDoesRoblox 5 жыл бұрын

@josephshields2922 3 жыл бұрын

Iceland is a country of Highway Robbers! I spent 3 days there and took only 1 tour because of obscene prices . I could not afford to go to a restaurant because we were two and the minimum price was $50 for cheapest entree, no soup, no salad, no desert -ala carte. One restaurant meal would have been well over $150 for a couple. I had to pay $5Euro to use the restroom at the park! The locals blame tourists for making their prices so high. "We cannot go out for a beer said one" we pay these high prices too! The business owners tell you its because they are so far from Europe and USA(food is expensive). This is a lie because even "Icelandic Salmon" is high. I buy it in my NY supermarket cheaper than what they are charging in Iceland! ECO TOURISM is becoming the biggest scam in the world. Boycott these places until the prices become fair. There are many places that haven't become tourist traps yet : Glacier Park USA, The Ozarks, Western Canada, Budapest, Romania, etc....
