Known as "the headland," Nuuk sits at the edge of a large peninsula at the mouth of a giant fjord system. Founded in 1728 by missionary Hans Egede, it is the oldest town in Greenland and the world's smallest capital city, with only 16,000 inhabitants.
Despite the cold and windy summer weather, we ventured out to discover what Nuuk has to offer. Come along and explore with us!
Highlights:
- History and significance of Nuuk
- Braving the cold summer weather

Greenland is the best country for living.
It is beautiful, are you from there?

Coming from the UK I think it would be a little too cold. The UK can be very cloudy and wet also.

Thank you so much for showing such respect for our country and culture in your videos. It’s wonderful to see how open-minded and appreciative you are of how we have survived and lived. Your recognition of our heritage means a lot to us. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you for your message, you can't imagine how much it means to us. We loved being there also if for a short time, there was so much we didn't know and it is important to see, learn and respect other ways of life

Greenland is a place to explore
That little cemetery along our Main Street is not in the “middle of town”. It was in use as a cemetery from 1933 to about 1964. In those days Nuuk was much smaller. Before WWII, less that 800 people lived in Nuuk, by 1964 the number had grown to about 3000.
The entire town in the 1930s was primarily located around to old colonial harbour, the cemetery being outside on the town area.
The city of Nuuk effectively grew up around the cemetery, which is not in use today. As of March 2024 Nuuk has a current population of 19,800.
Thanks for sharing this interesting historical insight about Nuuk! It's fascinating how the town has evolved over the years.
The International Airport in Nuuk. Will open november 28th 2024. Then it will be easier to come to Nuuk.
Hopefully also a bit cheaper
The gray house. Below the Church of Our Saviour. Is the house of the Danish State's Ombudsman. Which is the highest authority in Greenland. Who is responsible for
jurisdiction over those areas. Such as the Police, the High Court, the Danish Navy. And the gray house also houses the royal couple when they are visiting Greenland.
Thank you for this extra information!!!

It's in the 20th century. Inuit Kalaallit get taste of European/Danish lifestyle and food. And there are no better to wear Inuit clothing in the winter. It is much warmer than the Europeanian cloth. And Inuit cloth is more expensive to get than European cloth.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's important to recognize the value of traditional clothing and how it plays a significant role in the culture and lifestyle of the Inuit.
Thanks but no thanks. I like Florida alligators better :) :)
😂 every country offers different things
I think @inuk made the graffiti he has a chanel on YT @fias
That is good to know, the graffiti blew our mind ❤️
