The tour continues through various neighborhoods, each representing different decades, showcasing architectural evolution from traditional homes to modern structures. To fully capture Nuuk's distinct charm and breathtaking scenery, the guide makes several stops at some of the city's photo locations.

The tour proceeds to "the end of the world," a dramatic viewpoint offering panoramic views of the Kook Islands and Mount Kingigtorsuaq. This spot provides an incredible perspective of the rugged coastline of Greenland. Another significant vantage point north of the city reveals parts of the world’s second-largest fjord system. From here, admire the iconic landmark, Sermitsiaq Mountain, which stands majestically against the skyline. Stopping by the biggest gift shop to buy distinctive Greenlandic goods is an optional activity for those interested in local handicrafts and souvenirs.

Kaffemik is a traditional celebration where people from the neighborhood are invited to visit throughout the day.

The boat, "Sikki," is a modern, enclosed, and heated Targa 32, designed with safety and comfort in mind. It accommodates up to six passengers.

Fishing in the fjords is an enriching experience, whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or a beginner.

Enjoy a hearty breakfast at your hotel and head to the Nuuk Airport for your flight to Sisimiut. As you ascend, enjoy aerial views of Greenland's rugged landscape, an endless expanse of ice and mountains.

Arrive in Sisimiut, Greenland's second-largest town, where traditional and modern Greenland meet. Sisimiut is a melting pot of old and new and everything in between. For the past 250 years, the city has undergone rapid development, which began with the construction of the colony of Holsteinsborg, where modern industry and educational institutions coexist with the traditional hunting profession.

On this guided bus tour, you will be taken through the city’s past and present, from the local meat and fish market at the port to Dog Town to the museum. Virtually the entire town is visited, and you get a good idea of the size and features of the buildings and the history of the town. Originally, the colony was on the plateau above the harbor, but today it has grown out of the mountainsides and into the country, so there are some great vantage points where you can make stops for photos. This tour provides a great overview of the town, making it easier to move around on your own afterward.

Today, hike back in time and experience where people have lived for the last 4,000 years. Sisimiut, Greenland's second-largest city, is beautifully located between the ocean and steep mountains just north of the Arctic Circle. In the summer, enjoy the eternal summer nights when the sun never sets.

This tour takes you to Sallinnguit, or "The Tele Island," home to modern telecommunications and rich history.
