The main occupations of the 1700 inhabitants of Paamiut and the only settlement Arsuk, is fishing and the great importance of the sea for the town, with the many sea eagles, is also underlined by the fact that Greenland’s maritime training takes place in Paamiut.

The town’s name means “they who reside by the mouth” and was founded in 1742, at the mouth of the Kuannersooq fjord. Paamiut’s old town is an idyllic area with its picturesque buildings. Here you can see, for example, the old shop, the colonial administration building, a goat barn and the church.

The locals willingly take visitors on tours through the millennial old nature trails that go from the town and into the country. The trails are up to 50 km long.

Arctic Umiaq Line’s passenger ship, which sails along the west coast from Qaqortoq in the south to Ilulissat in the north, also regularly calls at Paamiut.
