Where to Stay in Nuuk

These range from modern, full-service hotels with amenities like restaurants and conference facilities to little, comfortable hotels with a more intimate feel. Hotels are a reliable option for consistent service and comfort.

These are often more budget-friendly options. They may offer dorm beds or simple private rooms, often with shared bathroom facilities. Many guesthouses and hostels feature shared kitchen access, beneficial for budget travelers aiming to self-cater.

Platforms like Airbnb feature private apartments or houses for rent. These are ideal for longer stays, families, or groups, as they often include self-catering facilities and more living space, creating a home-away-from-home experience.

While Nuuk has no widely developed traditional homestay programs, some smaller, locally-run guesthouses offer a more intimate and personal experience, allowing for social exchange with local hosts. Community-based tourism, where you stay directly with families, is more common in smaller, more secluded villages outside Nuuk.

Camping is generally not allowed within Nuuk city limits. Although some official campsites might exist farther away, they are very rudimentary and need self-sufficiency. This option is for the most part for experienced campers with proper Arctic gear.
