OVERVIEW

Tasiilaq is a small town on Greenland’s eastern coast, built across rocky slopes beside a sheltered harbour. Fishing, education and regional services support the settlement. The combination of colourful harbour houses, steep arctic mountains and remote coastal life in a small town surrounded by fjords and sea ice and town gives the wider destination a distinct physical and cultural structure.

Hiking, boat trips and dog sledding vary by season. Access is limited, preserving a strong sense of remoteness. Experiencing colourful harbour houses alongside steep arctic mountains and remote coastal life in a small town surrounded by fjords and sea ice reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known visitor area.
