10 Very Best Places In Greenland To Visit – Hand Luggage Only

One of the least habituated countries in the world, Greenland might not come to mind when thinking of places to visit. However, that would be a mistake; there are so many epic and best places in Greenland to visit that are dotted nationwide.

Now, one of the things that makes Greeland so special is it’s natural history. It’s like no other place on earth and totally surreal to experience as part of an expedition, cruise, or visiting local area with guides from some of the larger towns like Nuuk or Ilulissat.

We visited Greenland and sailed around for 11 days. It was incredible, and although you’ll never see all of it (it’s colossal), you can easily visit some of the top places on a trip in the summer months.

With any trip to Greenland, the big challenge might seem to be getting around, but trust me, it’s not as complicated as it looks. You can, of course, hop on an expedition ship like we did with Albatros Expeditions. That being said, you can also easily jump on domestic flights (with Air Greenland) and domestic ferries/boats that link some of the most popular places to visit in Greenland.

So, to help you get the most out of your visit to Greenland, I’m sharing some of the top places to visit that are absolutely stunning to explore. I’ve included heaps of natural sights (that are beautiful), but I’ve also included some smaller towns and cities that are easier to visit during your trip to Greenland.

Oh, and as always, ask away if you have any other questions about visiting Greenland. It really is a stunning country to explore, and we’re always happy to help.

1.) Disko Bay (Eqip Sermia)

Disko Bay is easily one of the most popular places in Greenland to visit, and with good reason. Explored by Norse explorers and Innuit populations, it’s a region perfect for seeing the natural beauty that makes Greenland so special.

One of the best places in Greenland to visit has to be Eqip Sermia. Best explored via an excursion from places like Ilulissat or via a cruise, Eqip Sermia is a vast glacier that is an arm of the Greenlandic Icecap.

Honestly, photos don’t do it justice—the hanging glacier towers over Disko Bay, and the views are spectacular. It’s like a wall of ice. Now, we were really lucky with the weather when we visited, and we got to see how pristine and beautiful the area around Eqip Sermia is. Though, don’t always take Greenlandic weather for…
