Ilulissat is a city of prime historical significance. Originally founded by the Danes as a trading post in 1741, the town is today the third largest in Greenland, with over 4,500 inhabitants.
On this cultural- historical walk the guide will tell you all about the history of the city, the Greenlandic culture and the modern life 300 km north of the Arctic Circle. We visit the old part of town, see the buildings from the very start of the Danish trading station, the old church - once the largest man-made object on Greenland - and the museum. The tour also includes a visit to the fishermen at the harbour and the hunters at their trading post “Brædtet” and the house where the famous explorer Knud Rasmussen was born.
