Nuussuaq (district)

Nuussuaq is a district of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland,[1][2] It is located in the northern part of the city, west and southwest of Nuuk Airport, approximately 4 km (2.5 mi) outside the city center.

The district was established in the late 1970s,[3] and has rapidly expanded since then, becoming the most populated neighborhood home to the majority of apartment buildings in the city and approximately 6.000 people.

[3] After Qinngorput, it is the newest district of Nuuk, expanding northwards towards the airport.

During rush hours, another bus (route E2 and X2) shuttles also every 15 minutes between the neighbourhood and downtown.

Buses 1 and 3 drive via the main road that divides Nuussuaq from other neighbourhoods.
