When you have already evaluated the rest in Europe, and the beaches of hot countries with their exotic dishes have become somewhat boring, the soul requires a completely different, unexplored. As a rule, on vacation we try to bask in the sun, but if we destroy all traditions, then instead of the sandy beaches of Turkey, we should go to the largest island on the planet and get to know Greenland more closely.
To which country is Greenland?
It is logical to assume that since this is an island, it can not be on its own, and belongs to the territory of one of the countries. If you look at the coat of arms, then the question of which country Greenland belongs to will disappear by itself, as the white bear of the Danish kings is recognized all over the world. Denmark is the "owner" of the island, but at the same time the latter has very wide borders of autonomy and many issues are resolved exclusively on the island's territory. Why is it important? For a tourist it's not just information, but a guide to action. The fact is that the island itself is not a member of the European Union, so all your Euros will not be needed there, like the Schengen visa. It is worthwhile in advance to stock up the Danish crown, so as not to get trapped.
Attractions in Greenland
For obvious reasons, the climate of Greenland is difficult to call facilitating unhurried walks to local famous places. But do not think that there is nothing to do and at most, what you have to count on, hot and warm drinks with local dishes. Indeed, the climate of Greenland is quite severe and varies from sea to arctic and continental-arctic. But even wind and low temperatures will not prevent you from seeing all the beauty and appreciate the local flavor.
The easiest way to get to know people and customs is to get to a holiday or festival, and in this sense Greenland is no different. It's time to get acquainted with the culture of the inhabitants of the Arctic - July, when the Asivik festival begins. This is something between the political and cultural forum, but all the charm is in carrying out this festival: folk theaters, those same dances with tambourines, in a word, exactly those ideas that you could imagine in your imagination.
Although Greenland is the largest island on the planet, there are enough sights there. By tradition, you will be invited to visit the capital of Nuuk , where all the major buildings and buildings of the island are located.
The eye rejoices and the attitude to the cold island changes when you get to Tasilak. Whether the residents there are very positive, or in this way they make up for the lack of sun and heat, but only every house there is like a toy, bright and positive.
Fans of fishing there will be as comfortable as possible. Even the nature itself seemed to have found a place for its creative impulses. Check this out by visiting the small village of Narsaq in the southern part of the island.
