Excursion Qaqortoq town exploration tour at Qaqortoq

Cradled between rolling steep hills dotted with brightly colored houses, Qaqortoq is the largest town in South Greenland and best seen on foot. Visit the Gertrud Rasch’s church, fish market and local museum, learn about Viking history and stroll around looking for the Stone & Man art displayed around town. There are more than thirty Stone & Man carvings and sculptures around the city, all created by local artist, many of them carved right out of the surrounding rock face. Learn why Qaqortoq is the only city in Greenland with the country’s oldest fountain in the center square.
