About this activity

The first half tells you about Greenland. The second lets you sit down with it. You can learn about Greenland through its landmarks. But some traditions only make sense once you're invited inside.

Begin among the colorful wooden houses of Nuuk's historic Colonial Harbour, where your local guide brings Old Nuuk to life through stories of generations. Pass historic landmarks as you uncover the layers of history behind one of the world's smallest capitals.

Then leave sightseeing behind for the most personal part of the journey. You'll be welcomed into a local setting for a traditional Kaffemik, a beloved Greenlandic gathering centered around coffee, homemade cakes, conversation, and togetherness.

Sit around the table with your host, hear stories of everyday life in Greenland, and experience the warmth behind a tradition that continues to bring families, friends, and communities together.

Old Nuuk gives you the story. Kaffemik introduces you to the people who continue it.
