3-Hour Guided Heritage Walk: Historical Insights & Local Cuisine | Nuuk

Explore Greenland's rich heritage and flavors on this 3-hour exclusive city tour that kicks off in the heart of Nuuk. Meet up in the city center, then head over to the National Museum to dive into Greenland's fascinating history with artifacts from various eras. After about half an hour at the museum, enjoy a scenic stroll through the old colonial harbor, where history is beautifully preserved in the architecture and surroundings.

Here, houses stand as they were built centuries ago, and historical sites like the old whale blubber processing equipment, Hans Egede's house, and significant sculptures like "The Mother of the Sea" and Hans Egede by the old church enrich your journey.

As you stroll, you will experience the vibrant open-air market, buzzing with freshly caught fish, seal, and reindeer. The walk continues past the Greenlandic Parliament to the cultural heart of the city, the Katuaq Culture Center. This architectural gem often hosts exhibitions by local artists.

Your tour culminates in Katuaq’s café, where a delightful serving of Greenlandic tapas awaits. Savor a selection of dried fish, meat, shrimps, scallops, and other local delicacies, offering a true taste of Greenlandic cuisine.
