Places with "real culture" aren't actually difficult to find, at all. They exist everywhere, in places that are not tourist attractions, especailly in places that have not had huge influxes of money. My wife and I went to Greenland just pre-covid, where almost no one speaks english, no signs are in english, and there was a very strong culture of which we were very much not a part. We were able to experience a small amount of it thanks to the kindness of our host. There is a program run by the official government tourism agency that allows Greenlandic residents to host tourists in their homes as a Bed & Breakfast. With patience and lots of english-danish translations we were able to communicate well enough to get around. I would go back in a second and much prefer a place like that over a more generic setting like described in this article. That said, when our two weeks there were up, it was very nice to meet a Canadian in the airport going home and hold a real conversation with someone besides my wife in my own language for the first time in a half a month.
