Accommodation Hotels There are hotels in the major towns, but only those in Ammassalik, Ilulissat, Maniitsoq, Narsaq, Narsarsuaq, Nuuk, Qaqortoq, Qasigiannguit, Sisimiut, Sndre, Strmfjord and Ummannaq approach European standards. There is no public accommodation in Scoresbysund, Thule or Upernavik. All reservations should be made in advance; contact Greenland Tourism or Greenland Tourism in Copenhagen (see Contact Addresses section) for information. Grading: A star-grading system is in place. Hotels are classified by Greenland Tourism, and gradings are roughly equivalent to those in Denmark. Camping There are no official campsites, but most places have specific areas for pitching tents. Camping is permitted everywhere except on ruins and on cultivated land in south Greenland. Local tourist offices have the latest information and will be able to advise on the nearest site. Igloos An ‘igloo hotel’ is constructed in winter each year in Kangerlussuaq. A large central igloo is connected to four to six smaller ones via ice tunnels. The complex features a bar, decorative ice sculptures and ice furniture. Youth Hostels Youth hostel accommodation is available in several towns, although they may not quite be of the same style or standard as those in the rest of Europe. Elsewhere in south Greenland it is possible to stay overnight in seamens’ houses or mountain huts – contact Greenland Tourism in Copenhagen for more information (see Contact Addresses section). |
