Myggedalen
A row of colorful little wooden cabins built against the rocks in a seaside valley, one of Nuuk's most popular photo spots.
Myggedalen, meaning Mosquito Valley, is a small seaside valley south of Nuuk's old town. Red, blue, yellow, and green wooden houses are scattered across the rocky slopes, with the bay and distant mountains behind them, forming a classic Greenlandic postcard scene. This is a residential area, so please don't enter private yards. Take your photos from the paths and the shoreline. It is about a 10-minute walk from the Art Museum, and it can be combined with the Old Harbour and the museums as a half-day walking route.
