Greenland´s second largest town (pop. just under 5,600), on the southwest coast an hour´s flight north of Nuuk, is a mix of traditional single-family wooden houses and apartment blocks. And apart from Greenland´s adventure travel hub – with activities including hiking, dogsledding, snowmobiling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, boating, cross-country and heliskiing, mountaineering – it also has its own points of interest such as an downtown core of old Danish colonial buildings, considered the best preserved of its kind in Greenland; the Bethelkirke church dates back to 1771, and the oldest of them – dating back to the town´s founding in 1756 – houses the 39-year-old Sisimiut Museum, which especially focuses on regional history and culture dating back to the paleo-Inuit Saqqaq people). You can also catch exhibitions and performances in the Taseralik Culture Centre.
