Sisimiut is the second-most populous city in Greenland. It is attractive for tourists both because of its beautiful places and active recreation. Fishing is active there all year round. The Harbor, on the shore of which Sisimiut is located, does not freeze even in the most severe frosts. There is also entertainment for extreme sports fans. For example, you can climb to the top of an ice mountain and ski down it. It is very bold, bright, and exciting. Moreover, there is a very exotic place – an outdoor swimming pool with heated water. Swimming in the fresh air among the eternal ice is a good reason to come to this Northern City!

Sisimiut also prepared a few surprises for those who love the unique features. For example, there is a unique large arch made from the jaw of a whale. You can't find it anywhere else in the world, not even in a museum. You can also try fresh whale oil there. They say it's incredibly good for your health. Moreover, Sisimiut has the only restaurant of Chinese cuisine on the entire island. So now you know where to go for Chinese food in Greenland.

The old city center of Sisimiut is also impressive. Almost nothing grows there. Grass, flowers, and trees are rare because of the low temperatures. That's why locals add color to their lives with colorful houses. If you walk through the city center, you get the feeling that you are in some kind of children's fairy tale or game, where all the houses are built of bright cubes.

Interestingly, some of these "toy" buildings were built in the 18th century. They continue to please the citizens and guests of Sisimiut with their beauty even despite the harsh climate.
