When Is the Best Time To Visit Greenland?
The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Greenland depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.
Tourist Season in Greenland
It's best to visit Greenland in June, July and August - that's when you can count on very good weather in many parts of the country.
Also, choosing months such as May and September is a good time to travel, but sometimes there may be weather conditions that make the visit difficult. We can expect worse weather in March, April and also in October, although the journey is possible, this is not the best time. The weather can then be very unpredictable, with a tendency to be bad. It is better to avoid January, February, November and December as this is when the worst weather of the year occurs.
