Greenland

Greenland travel guide

Cut off from the rest of the world for eight months of the year when the fjords freeze over and lying mostly within the Arctic Circle, Greenland is way off the beaten track

If it’s peace and quiet you’re after, this is the place, although be warned, it won’t come cheap.  With crisp air and majestic mountain scenery, here in Greenland you can hike, ski or dogsled through unspoilt wilderness or sail through fjords under the light show of the aurora borealis. Whenever you come and whatever you do, remember that mum knows best. As she’d tell you herself: wrap up warm.

Wanderlust Recommends

  1. Have a real winter touring Greenland’s icebergs
  2. Meet the Inuit
  3. Find out how dog sledding is really done at one of the many sledding festivals held around Easter in towns north of the Arctic Circle
  4. See the Aurora Borealis – best viewed against the dark skies of autumn and winter.

 

Wanderlust tips for travel in Greenland

Allow plenty of time for everything in Greenland as the weather won’t always be your friend. Patience and a good book are ideal travelling companions around these parts.

Alcoholism is a serious problem in Greenland. To combat this, alcoholic drinks can only be sold in shops from noon to 6pm and from 11am to 1pm on Saturday.
