Your first impression of Qaqortoq is the pretty, multicolored houses on the slopes of the hill as the boat enters the harbor. Nearby, you will also find hot springs, art, Norse ruins, agricultural areas, and Greenland's only fountain. Qaqortoq is the main town in South Greenland and the fourth largest in all of Greenland. It is the home to many educational institutions, making it quite a lively place despite the approximately 4,000 people living here. A river from a large, nearby lake runs through the center of Qaqortoq. The beautiful South Greenlandic town of Qaqortoq is situated in the South Greenlandic fjord system, and here, you can experience the diversity that Greenland has to offer. It is a favorite destination for cruise ships because there are picturesque houses, good shops, and arts and culture. You should visit the museum, and it is also exciting to experience the old Church of Our Savior from 1832, located not far from the square. Here, you will find a rescue wreath from the ship Hans Hedtoft, which went down in 1959. This is the only thing ever found from the ship. Next to the square, visit the local meat market, where you can buy the local foods.
