    These kinds of places can look idyllic until it’s 5:30pm on a Friday and the only place to get a drink closed half an hour and the streets are all empty. Then they start to feel pretty boring.

      City dweller reviewing a small town lol

      Peace and quiet is not a minus. Peace and quiet is exactly the point of those places. If I wanted night clubs and people on the streets, I’d live in a city.

          It’s funny - I live in a big city because I have to and I constantly complain about it to my friend who wanted to move to this city so much that one day she just drove here with almost no money and no place to stay. I don’t think she’s very sympathetic.

      grew up in a smol place and know this well, it feels like a prison especially if you have no cash to get drunk with

      There are plenty of small towns away from the world that aren’t in Greenland 😅. I get the sentiment but Nuuk is total overkill if anon is just looking for a peaceful small town

    I’m sure they’d love to have random immigrants who moved there just because it looked nice on online photos

    Nuuk is fairly remote, but it’s literally the capital and I’ve heard it’s developing nicely.

    Imagine moving much farther north to Illorsuit, it was literally abandoned a few years ago.

      I believe they are completing their modern international airport this year or next? Which should make Nuuk, and Greenland, far more accessible and thus help its tourism industry. From my understanding, it’s also very hard to immigrate to.

        AFAIK Greenland immigration laws are the danish immigration laws, as Greenland is part of Denmark. And yes, we do have very strict immigration policy here

          Yea, but Greenland is also autonomous so its laws do diverge from Denmark’s in a lot of ways. I’m not am expert or particularly knowledgeable on either, though, so just pointing it out because i don’t know where those deltas are. I don’t think you can actually own land in Greenland, for example, and rather long term lease plots from the government is perhaps one case?

            Sure it is autonomous, but most things are still taken care of by Denmark, such as police, medical needs etc. even immigration to Greenland is applied through Danish authorities.

            I think they mostly follow Danish laws, with some exceptions, (Greenland does not accept refugees as an example).

      Facts. Picking your ass up and moving to a country, even without knowing the language and little money is possible. You just have to make a lot of trade-offs for it to happen.
