Nuuk International Airport (GOH)

Getting Around

How to get to and from Nuuk International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at GOH

Nuuk International Airport is connected to Nuuk and the wider Greenland transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

Nuuk's Line 3 bus connects the airport to downtown via the Nuussuaq and Quassussuup Tungaa districts, but only runs hourly during weekday rush hours -- not a reliable general-purpose option.

Taxi

Taxis are available; email ahead if possible, since weather delays and cancellations are common and taxis may not be automatically rebooked.

Car Rental

No confirmed car rental service was found for this airport in research; Nuuk's road network doesn't connect to other towns, which limits the usefulness of a rental in any case.

Insider tip

Card payment is reportedly accepted widely, including by airport taxis, but verify current practice; street names are in Greenlandic, so having your hotel call the taxi for you can help.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Nuuk International Airport website before travel.
