Day 4: Visiting Nuuk's Art museum
During your stay, we also recommend a visit to Nuuk’s Art Museum. The permanent exhibition includes many paintings by the famous Greenlandic painter Emanuel A. Petersen (1894-1948) ), but there are also exciting and beautiful contemporary art and changing exhibitions. Check the current opening hours, which may vary with the season.
If you’d rather be outdoors, there are plenty of great hiking opportunities around Nuuk.
Day 5: National Museum with it's famous mummies
You have the whole day at your disposal again, and we recommend a visit to the National Museum, located in the old colonial harbor.
Here you will find the unique mummies that were found in the Uummannaq area in the 1970s. These mummies are very well-preserved, so it seems as if time has stood still. On Sundays, the National Museum is open free of charge. Check the current opening hours, which may vary with the season.
Day 6: Farewell and return trip to Copenhagen
Five wonderful days are coming to an end, and it’s time for your trip back to Copenhagen.
You’ll fly directly to Copenhagen from Nuuk.
Day 7: Farewell Denmark
Breakfast at your hotel and time to explore the Danish capital before your return flight back to the UK. We can also assist in extending your stay in Copenhagen with extra nights in downtown Copenhagen.
Optional: Walk on the Greenland Ice Sheet!
Travel season: All year
The Ice Sheet in Greenland is one of the largest sheets of Ice in the world and covers around 80% of Greenlands surface. Powerful 4×4 vehicles will take us through an incredibly beautiful landscape, through mountains, plains, and semi-desert valleys. At the end of the road, we walk to the Greenland Ice Sheet and onto the vast ice sheet. We spend some time exploring this world of ice before returning to our vehicle.
