The programme

Looking to make some Greenlandic discoveries? In Nuuk, the capital of the island, you're in the right place. Wandering its streets is the perfect way to get a better sense of the unique characteristics of the Far North.
Like the 'rule of colors', for example, which applies to the small houses dotted around the old colonial port - they are painted bright shades so that they stand out even in winter, when snow covers everything.
From here, a spire stands out against the sky. Would you be surprised to know that it belongs to a cathedral built from red wood? It is one of the smallest in the world.
And just when everything looks like a postcard from another era, the bold design of Katuaq's cultural center will propel you straight into the future. Keep an eye out for its undulating wall: it is designed to evoke the curving shapes of the aurora borealis.
Now, you can stop off with your guide at the National Museum, one of the first in Greenland, where you can discover the story of culture, customs and life at these latitudes.
And that's not all: you will also find prehistoric Inuit tools, national costumes and even mummies dating back to the 15th century. You'll never have seen such wonders so close up before.
