Nuuk, the capital of the Greenland autonomous region, is located on the southwest coast of Greenland, close to the Davis Strait, and is Greenland's largest city and political and economic center. With a population of about 18,000, mostly Inuit, this Arctic Circle city is a blend of Greenlandic tradition and modern urbanism. Nuuk is characterized by a unique natural landscape of fjords, glaciers and aurora borealis, with a remarkable combination of extreme day in summer and extreme night in winter. The economy is based on fishing and seafood processing, and tourism is on the rise, attracting visitors to experience Inuit culture, dog sledding and other activities. Although small, the city is home to cultural institutions such as the University of Greenland and the National Museum, and is an important gateway for exploring Greenland's history and nature.
