Ilulissat's UNESCO icefjord and Disko Bay are the headline, with whale watching, hiking and (in winter) the aurora and dog sledding around colourful Nuuk and the remote east.
It's remote and pricey, with arrivals usually via Denmark or Iceland — but utterly unforgettable.

Visa rules change frequently. Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark but OUTSIDE the Schengen Area and EU — a standard Schengen visa does not automatically cover it. Visa-exempt nationals are generally fine; others need a visa valid for Greenland. Always verify with the official Greenland immigration / e-visa website before travelling.
