Exploring Nuuk, Greenland with a Local Guide - (Nuuk Walking Tour) - Travel vlog

Explore Nuuk, Greenland with a local Greenlandic guide as we walk through the streets of Nuuk and provide some important information and facts that might be helpful to people planning a trip to Nuuk or people who are interested in learning more about Nuuk, the capital of Greenland.
“Nuuk” is the Greenlandic word for “cape” and is named for its position at the mouth of the Nuup Kangerlua Fjord (otherwise known as the Nuuk Fjord) - the second largest fjord system in the world. The Narsap Sermia glacier flows directly into the fjord. Nuuk is the northernmost capital in the world if you don’t include Reykjavik. Nuuk was founded in 1728 by the missionary Hans Egede after he left his first settlement at the nearby ”Island of Hope”. The population is approximately 16800.
As I walk through the streets of Nuuk with the local guide, you will see Nuuk old harbor, Nuuk Cathedral, Hans Egede statue, Nuuk water taxi station, Nuuk boardwalk, Nuuk center (Nuuk shopping mall), Nuuk Katuaq center (Nuuk cultural center), Nuuk Tupilak Travel office, and many other beautiful sites.
At the end of the video, you will see the old apartment complexes that the Greenlandic government built back in the 1960s and 1970s when they forced people to move from some settlements to Nuuk.

Hello everyone, I hope you enjoy watching all my videos of Greenland as much as I enjoyed making them. You can watch the other videos I filmed in Greenland here: kzbin.info/aero/PL0wwMzq5-Q2h4OGCQo45y_jxTPwZOxkrp

[@tyodughdaniel9367]

The video is expressly clear as well as understood. ULULUAK. The name of your local interpreter is noe very easy to spelt. Can you give us the full spelling of the name ok. Thanks for the video

[@WandererBell]

Ululinannguaq.

[@tyodughdaniel9367]

Her name is Ululinasuuaq. Hope i got the spelling correctly. She is very intelligent and smart as well

[@tyodughdaniel9367]

​@@WandererBell. Wow.. so interesting. God is so wonderful. This has a different pronunciation entirely in my local language

[@tyodughdaniel9367]

Thanks Sir. At least i have a sound knowledge of Greenland now because of your Videos. God bless you real good

[@khormaka5981]

She is a smart girl.....this video should have thousands of views

[@WandererBell]

She really is!

[@Leahshappy]

I’m actually from Nuuk and videos like this make us feel so included!

[@WandererBell]

I am glad to hear that. Thank you!

[@Zachary-uk6xp]

I can’t wait to see what else is in Greenland 🇬🇱 Nuuk

[@garymanuel4710]

I spent 3 seasons in Nuuk fishing, we would leave NL Canada, in april, it would take us around 5 days steaming, Got to know many of the local folks, very friendly people

[@WandererBell]

Wow! That’s awesome.

[@garymanuel4710]

@@WandererBell Yes we would leave Newfoundland april most seasons, depended on the ice really, we were fishing Turbot & every 12 to 14 days we would port in Nuuk to unload, I think the U,S wanted Greenland to become an state, While there did you visit a pub called Christine:s saloon?, the drinking hole for us when we land lol, But it had an American influnce of 1800s, with wagon wheels & horse saddles inside, & lots of american movie posters, all westerns, i think it was built by an American

[@WandererBell]

I don’t remember visiting that pub in Nuuk. In 2019, the US made an attempt to purchase Greenland but the proposal got rejected. There is still strong US military presence in the north and the US opened a consulate in Nuuk in 2020.

[@chrisa9380]

You both did a great job. She explained Greenland history pretty well. sir you have great content and it saddens me to see this video getting fewer views. You definitely deserve more views. Shame on youtube

[@WandererBell]

Thank you for your kind support and feedback. I totally understand your point. It hurts me too from time to time when my videos are not exposed to more targeted audience that might find value in my videos. If all my viewers who enjoy and watch my videos on regular basis give me a thumbs up, it will help youtube recognize my videos more, but the problem is that a lot of people who enjoy my videos, forget to give me a thumbs up or comment 😢

[@tyodughdaniel9367]

I believe that all these will happen if you continue to do your videos. You are gathering momentum for future explosion. The Bible says seeth thou a man diligent in his business,he shall stand before Kings and not before mere men. Be encouraged sir. Thanks... Daniel TYODUGH from Nigeria

[@WandererBell]

This is the most encouraging comment I have ever received in years. The words of God are so powerful. God bless you!

[@EdwindePaula]

the part when she told the story about the nativr settlements being forcefully relocated really got me... I wonder how many "bittersweet" (a word she so meaningfully chose to use) untold stories took place in the development of what looks like a beautiful native-centered capital like nuuk.

[@WandererBell]

It also happened in other parts of Greenland, not only Nuuk.

[@johnmule9419]

Good points you're making....I'm betting - based upon the graffiti and the sort of shoddy looks of the place - that this is where most of the crime in Nuuk originates from...she handled the explanation about as well as could be expected and - overall - did a wonderful job with the tour.

[@kevincvail]

Great video! Loved to see Nuuk & hear the stories of the city & Greenland!

[@WandererBell]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great job by both! Thanks for the video! This definitely needs to have more views!

Nuuk👍👍👍

[@packermaster521]

Liked her a lot...very knowledgeable!

[@WandererBell]

She is indeed a knowledgeable girl and I learned a lot from her. She did her best and I tried my best to record the whole thing. It was very hard to hold my camera for almost 2 hours nonstop. I really hope youtube recommends this video more and pushes it out to more audiences. What a shame! It got only 15 views 😢

[@tyodughdaniel9367]

It's well with you sir. Keep doing it. It will soon record millions of viewers

[@aleksdude]

It's interesting.. that in the past your tour guide mentioned... they learned all 3 languages greenlandish, danish, and english for one year.... and eventually.. they became good and greenland and danish. But now.. with kids today... they are still learning greenlandish.. but they now favor english instead of danish.

[@WandererBell]

It is indeed interesting! They speak 3 languages very well. Yes, it is true that the kids favor English more but they still speak Danish pretty well. Old people speak Danish much better than English and their English is still good.

[@oscarbosio9881]

Un excelente relato de la guia, . en poco tiempo, de la historia de Groenlandia y la vida en Nuuk. Muy buen video. Saludos desde Santa Fe, Argentina en la otra punta del Continente.

[@WandererBell]

Muchas gracias.

[@user-yu6mt9ec1u]

Nice greenlandic girl❤

[@aleksdude]

When the tour guide mentioned self governance occured in 2009... I was surprised. So I googled it. Sigh.. youtube won't let me post the link to the denmark general provision: Act on Greenland Self-Government (Act no. 473 of 12 June 2009). Also.. she did a good job of explaining the history of her ancestors arriving and then denmark taking over.

[@WandererBell]

I was really impressed. She has a good wealth of knowledge and she explained it on camera without reading from a script and without making mistakes and without being nervous. That is really something!

[@mariamajallow5702]

@@WandererBell How can I get in touch with her, please? I need to contact her for business opportunities in Nuuk. I'm working for a tour agency and we provide tours in Nuuk.

بتتكلم عربي !؟ جميل يعني بقدر اسئلك بالعربي .. لاني مخطط لزيارة غرينلاند هذا العام ... فيديواتك رائعة جداً وحبيت فكرة التحدث مع الكاميرا المشاهد يحس وكانه عايش اللحطة والحدث معاك

شكرا جزيلا على التعليق. ستحب جرينلاند إذا زرتها في الصيف. نعم اتكلم عربي ولكن الكتابة ضعيفة عندي.

[@daviethemusicman2885]

I can speak 4 languages fluently: Chinese, Spanish, Taiwanese and English. Do you prefer 24 hours of sunlight or 24 hours of darkness?

[@WandererBell]

You are so smart. Speaking 4 languages is definitely a unique skill. With regards to the 24-hour sunshine/darkness, I prefer a mix of both!

[@tyodughdaniel9367]

​@@WandererBell. This is another thing that stood me in awe about Greenland. Some part total light all round whilst other part total darkness all through. All these differences in one country? God is so amazing Sir.

[@WandererBell]

@@tyodughdaniel9367 In Ilulissat, the sun never sets in June and July. I was there during that time and it was amazing. I filmed a lot of videos in Ilulissat. The nature there is out of this world. The people in Greenland are the most welcoming people I have ever met.

[@cara9767]

As the guide said she was disappointed at the small shopping mall...there's a lack of shops etc What is there to do ? Not alot

[@WandererBell]

There is actually a lot of things to do if you are into outdoor activities and love to explore the unique nature that Greenland offers, but if you are just looking for shops, bars, and shopping malls and and stay in the city without exploring the nature, then Greenland may not be interesting to you.

[@tyodughdaniel9367]

​@@WandererBellok. thanks. The Question i have is this, why the name Greenland in the first place?

[@WandererBell]

@@tyodughdaniel9367 Greenland was named "Greenland" by Erik the Red, a Norwegian explorer and colonizer. He named the island "Greenland" as a marketing strategy to attract settlers despite the fact that much of Greenland is covered by ice. He chose the name to make the land sound more appealing hoping to encourage people to settle there. He wanted to differentiate Greenland from Iceland and make it sound more inviting. So, it was a marketing strategy as opposed to accurate description of the island's actual environment.

[@oscarbosio9881]

Hay que tener en cuenta que si bien es la capital de Groenlandia y su principal centro urbano, la población de la ciudad no llega a los 20-000 habitantes. Tiene un centro comercial acorde al tamaño de la ciudad. Podria ser mejor,es verdad, pero me parece que no está tan mal. Saludos desde Argentina.

I'm going to Nuuk next year on July 2023 and I need a local guide to explore Nuuk. What travel agency that I have to contact for city tour. Your tour guide is very knowledgeable. How much you pay in US$ ? Do I need to book a head of time for city tour and what travel agency? Pls give me some information about this tour. Thank you...and God bless you !!!

[@WandererBell]

The tour agency is Tupilak Travel which is located just a few steps from the hotel I stayed at. I did not book in advance. I just walked in and requested a private tour guide. If you book a regular tour with other people, it might cost about $45 US dollars per person. They close on Sundays.
