Of course a stroll to the town port and the local market called brættet can not be missed too.
In the evening, we invite you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Northern Lights and warm yourself with authentic Greenland coffee. Your guide will take you to a dark place, away from the lights of the city where the view is most beautiful, and will tell you about the natural phenomenon.
The Northern Lights is an incredible and breath-taking natural phenomenon. It is a strikingly beautiful dance of colourful lights and shimmering colours in the sky. The most common colours in which the glow appears are pale green and pink. Shades of red, blue, yellow and purple can be spotted too.
Just imagine how in the dark polar night in the sky suddenly coloured rays appear and illuminate it all with different shimmer colours.
According to a Greenland legend when the northern lights dance in the night sky, it means that the dead play football with a skull on the walrus.
