Fun and entertainment Greenland

Timetable

There are hardly any nightclubs or pubs with live music in Greenland outside the capital or Ilulissat during the summer period. In contrast, the Nuuk and Sisimiut cultural centres offer a year-round selection of films or performances of music, theatre and dance. Please contact us directly on site for opening hours and days, which vary greatly depending on the season.

Budget & Tips

Expect to pay around DKK 100 for a cinema ticket, and more for a show.

To be booked

Events don't happen that often, so book in advance to be sure of a place. It would be a shame to have travelled so far only to find yourself on the doorstep!

Night transport

What's very local

Inuit drum dance, mask and song performances are not to be missed on any account: you'll be captivated, not to say in a trance, by these traditions straight out of ancient times with shamans. It's worth noting, however, that today's Greenlanders are more interested in rhythmic, modern dances such as polka (kalattuut) and rock, or even techno and electro for the younger crowd.
