Greenland was named one of the best places to travel in 2025. The country currently belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark has recently made headlines, as US President Donald Trump says he wants to put it under American control. Greenland is located in the North Atlantic Ocean in northeastern Canada and northwest Iceland. It has been under Danish control for almost 300 years, and the Trump administration wants to change it.
Despite the political tensions surrounding Greenland, it has been designated as one of the best places to travel in 2025. Greenland has a population of just 56,000 people, and has scenic nature and other world tourist attractions. Respected Travel Publications Travel + Leisure recently named it one of the top picks of 2025 tourists. In fact, Greenland has received more and more visits over the past few years, and in 2023 the number of international visitors to the Arctic Island reached an all-time high.
Travel + Leisure has listed 50 destinations people think should visit in 2025, including Greenland. The publication reports: “Greenland has seen a significant increase in tourism. Cruise arrivals increased 74% in 2023 compared to the previous year, with the overall number increasing by more than 30%.”
Greenland is a place full of natural beauty and fascinating history. Among the top tourist attractions is the Ilulissat Icefjord, an incredibly fast glacier that tourists call “magnificent.”

Greeland remains in the news as tensions grow between Donald Trump's US administration and Denmark.
US Vice President JD Vance recently visited Greenland and highlighted the strategic importance of the region, particularly in light of the growth of countries such as Russia and China.
However, Danish Prime Minister Mette Fredericksen recently said, “You can't annex other countries, even in discussions about international security. This is about the world order we have built throughout the Atlantic through generations.”
