Culture-historical walk
People might say: “We can take a walk around the town on our own.” Yes, you probably can, but with the culture-historical walk you will get an enhanced understanding of the Greenlandic culture and history, which will give the other experiences in Greenland a new perspective.

Ilulissat, earlier known as Jakobshavn, was founded in 1741, and today it is the third biggest town in Greenland with more than 4500 inhabitants. During the walk through the old colonial part of the town, the guide will tell about the town history, the Greenlandic culture and the modern life 300 kilometres north of the Polar Circle.

We visit the fishermen at the harbor, the sellers at “Brættet”, and we will pass the birthplace of Knud Rasmussen and the old wooden church, the Zion church. This culture-historical walk is a good short-cut to knowledge.
