Greenland: main airports
Greenland has a single main international airport: Nuuk Airport, the capital, the main gateway to this immense autonomous Arctic territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.
Greenland: recommended activities
Greenland: visa and entry requirements
Like the Faroe Islands, Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark but not of the European Union or the Schengen area: visitors, including EU citizens, must present a valid ID document, generally a passport, at checks. Most Western nationalities do not need a visa for short tourist stays.
Greenland: safety
Greenland is generally considered very safe, with an almost non-existent crime rate. The main risk for visitors is linked to extreme and unpredictable weather and the wild nature of the terrain: always check conditions before excursions and avoid venturing alone into remote areas without an experienced guide.
Greenland: health situation
No specific vaccinations are required for entry. Healthcare facilities are limited outside Nuuk: insurance with possible medical evacuation is strongly advisable, especially for those visiting the interior or hiking.
Greenland: currency, payments and connectivity
The currency is the Danish krone; electronic payments are widespread even in small settlements. There are no ride-hailing apps: local taxis are the main means of transport within towns, while travel between settlements often happens by plane or boat, given the absence of a road network connecting the different locations. For connectivity, the operator Tusass covers the main population centres, with more limited connection in remote areas. The cost of living is high, consistent with the geographic isolation.
