Accommodation
HOTELS: There are hotels in the major towns, but only those in Ammassalik, Ilulissat, Maniitsoq, Narsarsuaq, Narsaq, Nuuk, Qasigiannguit, Qaqortoq, Sisimiut, Søndre Strømfjord and Ummannaq approach European standards. There is no public accommodation in Upernavik, Thule or Scoresbysund. 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 was introduced in 2000. 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.
IGLOOS: Started in 2000, an ‘igloo hotel’ is constructed in winter each year in Kangerlussuaq. A large central igloo is connected to six smaller ones via ice tunnels. The complex features decorative ice sculptures and ice furniture.
YOUTH HOSTELS: Youth hostel accommodation is available in Narsarsuaq, Narsaq, Kulusuk, Julianehåb, Nuuk and Ilulissat. Elsewhere in south Greenland it is possible to stay overnight in mountain huts – contact Greenland Tourism in Copenhagen for more information (see Contact Addresses section).
