A little about Nuuk
Hotel Nordbo and Nordbo in Centrum are located in Nuuk, which is the capital of Greenland and the political center in Greenland's largest municipality, Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq.
The city was founded as the city of Godthåb by the Norwegian missionary Hans Egede in the year 1728 and is thus Greenland's oldest city. Today, the city has almost 15.500 inhabitants, a quarter of whom are immigrants from other countries.
Nuuk means the headland and is located at the mouth of Godthåbsfjorden on the west coast of Greenland, 240 km south of the Arctic Circle. The climate is low arctic with an average temperature of seven degrees in July and minus eight degrees Celsius in January.
In addition to Nuuk itself with the suburbs Nuussuaq and Qinngorput, the municipality includes the two settlements Kapisillit and Qeqertarsuatsiaat with a total of approx. 300 inhabitants as well as the towns of Paamiut, Ivittuut, Ammassalik and Ittoqqortoormiut.

If you want to eat out one evening, there are good options for a tasty meal in Nuuk
In the center of Nuuk, next to Brugsen, lies the board, kalaaliaraq. Here, the prisoners sell the day's fresh catch of Greenlandic provisions all year round, which you can prepare yourself at home in your own kitchen.
In this way you can experiment on your own with spring catfish roe, summer fat trout from Nordlandet, autumn reindeer sticks from the bottom of the fjord or maybe just a homemade suaasat - Greenlandic soup cooked on fresh or salted meat of seals or whales with carrots, leeks, onions , turnips and potatoes grown at the bottom of Godthåbsfjorden and a good handful of fine barley groats.
Remember to say mamaqaat - It tasted good!
