Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Nanortalik?
Given Nanortalik's small size and remote location, the best area to stay is within the town centre itself, specifically near the harbour.

The town centre is where you'll find the majority of Nanortalik's limited accommodation options, typically guesthouses or small hotels. This area is compact and easily walkable, with most facilities clustered around the main street, which runs parallel to the harbour. You'll find the local supermarket, the Nanortalik Museum (which offers insights into local history and culture), and the tourist information office all within a short stroll.

For all travellers, particularly those interested in local culture and convenient access to boat tours, staying near the harbour is ideal. This is the departure point for excursions to the nearby Prins Christian Sund, or for exploring the dramatic fjords and icebergs.
When is the best time to go to Nanortalik?
The best time to go to Nanortalik is during the summer months, specifically from June to August, when the weather is mildest and daylight hours are longest.

During this period, the average temperatures range from 5°C to 10°C, making it comfortable for outdoor activities. The extended daylight, often lasting close to 24 hours in mid-summer, means you have more time to explore. This season is ideal for boat tours among the icebergs, hiking in the surrounding hills, and wildlife spotting, including seals and various bird species.

Travellers interested in exploring the natural beauty of the region will find summer particularly rewarding. The ice in the fjords has usually melted enough to allow for easier boat access to remote areas and the nearby Tasermiut Fjord, known for its dramatic granite peaks. It's also the prime time for kayaking and fishing excursions.

For those looking to experience local culture, summer also sees a higher frequency of local events and festivals, offering a chance to engage with the community.
