It has always been a dream of mine to visit Greenland, see its natural wonders and explore the things to do in Greenland. In September 2018 I finally got the chance and flew to the capital to explore the things to do in Nuuk before going on a tour to the Greenland Ice Cap where I also saw the spectacular Northern Lights.
I chose Nuuk as it is a great base for independent travelers for several tour options, hikes and sights in and around the capital while also offering fairly reasonable prices. You can use this video as a guide for your visit to Greenland and you are free to leave more tips and recommendations for things to do in Nuuk in the comment section below!

I HAD LIVED THERE THE FIIRST 7 YEARS OF MY LIFE!!!

[@SamFreedom]

whyd you leave?

[@Nasenmann80]

I like the way you travel to destinations where other fancy youtubers don't go and present it dignified and with high quality pictures. Thumbs up - one more destination on my list.

[@BackPackerSteve]

thanks for the nice words - I try to do my best to understand destinations and try to present them with a little more in-depth information. By working with the local tourism boards I get the chance to connect e.g. with local musicians like Nanook which was a fantastic way to get to know the music scene of the country. I'd love to do more on that scale. Thanks for watching!

[@garmo98]

The constant smile on your face and excitement in your voice make it easy to catch the enthusiasm for a visit to Nuuk.

[@BackPackerSteve]

Thanks, Gary - it's hard not to smile when you are surrounded by such incredibly beautiful nature!

[@sandmistbreeze]

So true!!😄

[@MyTimeOutt]

Have had a dream ever since Geography Class in 4th Grade introduced us to Greenland. I have not stopped thinking about coming here just to look at & explore this place.

[@javaidhaider9289]

Thank you for introducing me to Greenland. What a fascinating place. My felicitations to the hardy people who inhabit this land. They are brave, resourceful and hardworking. Look forward to more such videos.

[@santiagoceren-te8yk]

I've been to Iceland many times. It is definitely time for a trip to Greenland. It looks just amazing. We have a sailing yacht well suited for the trip. That'll be one hell of a way to get there.

One of the best travel vlogs in the tube

[@ljjackson7106]

Glad I found this! Wish I was 40 years younger! Beautiful stuff Steve!

[@peterrowe6055]

Spectacular views of the Greenland of today. The sharp contrast between the ultra modern 21st century capital city and the pristine landscape of remote Greenland is astonishing.

[@ElizabethWarrenYeahYeah]

Beautiful music to accompany the film.

[@hsmith9752]

I've been to Greenland but not to Nuuk. Your tour was very very well done...explanations, foods, fishing, camping, etc. Also, your smiles make the video. Please thank the musicians, and local guides etc for my trip to Nuuk. Be safe, be well and be happy

[@BackPackerSteve]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lyndawells2872]

I loved the video. Greenland has been on my bucket list too long. I would love to witness the Northern Lights there but feel at 73 I'm getting too old for the climate. Thank you for sharing the sights to me.

[@stephanledford9792]

I live in Bentonville, Arkansas, USA with a 2020 census population of 62,521, slightly larger than the population of Greenland. It is hard for me to imagine an independent country with a population less than my small city / large town - my guess is that they are going to have to depend on Denmark to handle defense, plus my understanding from reading about Greenland is that Denmark provides large subsidies to keep local government and the economy afloat. The Faroe Islands is a similar semi-autonomous Danish territory with a similar population, but I think it has a much stronger economy. In some ways it would make more sense in the long run for Greenland to join a confederation with Iceland and the Faroe Islands, or become part of next door Canada, but keeping the current system seems to work as long as Denmark is willing to continue sending money there. I have both Iceland and the Faroe Islands on my travel bucket list but may add Nuuk as well after watching this video.

[@rjdalchow]

That must have been a great trip. It felt like being on a whole different world. Great video.
