Ground Transportation

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025

Taxis

Taxis are available directly outside the airport terminal, especially upon flight arrivals. The main operator is Nuuk Taxi. The ride to the city center is short, typically lasting 10-15 minutes. While credit cards are often accepted, it's wise to have Danish Krone (DKK) available.

Rental Cars

Several local companies, including Nuuk Car Rental and Sixt, offer car rentals. It is strongly recommended to book a vehicle well in advance, as the fleet is limited and demand can be high. Rental cars are useful for exploring Nuuk and its immediate surroundings, but there are no roads connecting Nuuk to other towns in Greenland.

Public Transportation

Nuuk's public bus service, Nuup Bussii, connects the airport to the city. Bus Route 3 serves the airport (Lufthavn stop), providing an economical way to reach the city center and other districts. The bus stop is located a short walk from the terminal building.
