Even in summer, Greenland's weather is unpredictable. The southern coastal areas tend to experience slightly milder temperatures than the north, but it's always advisable to pack layers and be prepared for varying conditions.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Greenland?
Underestimating the cost of travel is a common mistake. Flights and accommodation can be expensive. Another is not packing appropriately for all types of weather. Finally, failing to plan transportation between towns and settlements in advance is a frequent oversight.

The small settlements outside of major tourist areas offer a more authentic glimpse into Greenlandic life. Consider visiting smaller villages in the fjords for a truly off-the-beaten-path experience. Hiking in less-visited areas can also reveal stunning, secluded landscapes.
