Nuuk is the coolest capital city, it’s official (yes, there’s a cheesy pun there). And being the capital city of Greenland, it’s one of the largest urban centres in the country. That being said, don’t compare it to New York or London – it feels like a very small town in size (with about twenty thousand residents calling it home).
Whatever the case, it’s a great city in Greenland to visit and probably (along with Kangerlussuaq) one of the first places you’ll visit on your trip to Greenland. So, to help you get the most out of your visit to Nuuk, I wanted to share the very best things to do in Nuuk that I’m sure you’ll love.
Now, you’ll likely only spend a day or two in Nuuk, before visiting some of Greenland’s iconic spots you can’t miss. This means you’ll likely want to cram in as much as possible before you leave. Thankfully, due to Nuuk’s compact and small size, it’s a city that’s really easy to walk around, even over a few hours.
Take a look, below, at our very best things to do in Nuuk that we loved – and we’re sure you will too! Have the best time visiting Greenland.
1.) Greenland National Museum and Archives
Whilst wandering around Nuuk, you’ll want to head into the Greenland National Museum and Archives. It’s one of the best museums in all of Greenland and right on the harbour front area of historic Nuuk. Best of all, it’s really accessible, with short walks and visits taking around 30-40 minutes.
Now, size-wise, the Greenland National Museum and Archives might seem small, especially if you’re used to colossal museums like the Smithsonian or British Museum. However, don’t think that size is everything! This place is amazing and it’s one of the best sites in all of Greenland to learn more about the heritage of the country, its culture and the Inuit people. We loved it.

There’s a small price for entry (it wasn’t much at all) and well worth taking a gander inside.
Visits will take around 20 minutes and about a 15-minute stroll…
