The Capital of Greenland
Nuuk may be the largest capital city in area and smallest in population. We visited the museum area, but there was a modern business district further up the hill where many of our fellow passengers went shopping.
 Nuuk is built on rock. We thought we were going to have to go ashore in tenders, but they found a dock for us and bussed us through downtown to the tourist information center near the museum area where the tenders would have unloaded. | ||
