As home to Greenland's largest population of sea eagles (nattoralik), Paamiut is a hidden gem in the capital region. Just like the sea eagles soaring freely over the nearby mountains, this lesser-visited destination offers ultimate freedom for outdoor enthusiasts. The colorful, historic houses, which tell stories of whaling and the fur trade, quickly give way to the surrounding wilderness, dotted with ancient trails just waiting to be discovered by modern travelers.
The local people of Paamiut are warm and welcoming, and they can spot a visitor the moment they arrive. They are understandably proud of their town and eager to share its treasures with those who visit. Embrace their hospitality for an authentic experience of life in a small Greenlandic town.
