The city
The largest town in southern Greenland and the seat of Kujalleq, with about three thousand residents, colorful houses arranged like an amphitheater above the harbor, and a square with the country’s oldest fountain. There are sculptures carved into the rocks around town, the museum in the old forge, and the red church from 1832. Boats depart from the harbor to Hvalsey Church and to the Uunartoq hot springs.

The local experience
A stone church of the Norse settlers, with the walls still standing, on the edge of a fjord about 19 km from Qaqortoq. It is the site of the last written record of the Norse in the country, dated 1408.
The city museum in an 1804 stone building, the old forge of the colonial harbor. It shows objects from the Norse and Inuit eras, hunting tools and the history of the colony.
The oldest fountain in Greenland, from 1932, in Qaqortoq’s central square, with bronze whales spouting water. Colonial houses and the red church surround it.
