Tour Plan

01 Arrival in Longyearbyen

Arrive in Longyearbyen according to your travel arrangements. Upon arrival, you can take an airport shuttle or taxi (approx. 10 minutes) to your accommodation. After checking in, you can spend the rest of the day exploring this fascinating Arctic town, depending on your arrival time.

Longyearbyen, the vibrant “capital” of Spitsbergen with around 2,000 residents, offers a mix of Arctic wilderness and modern comforts. You’ll find art galleries, pubs, restaurants, and even a mini-mall. Despite its modern feel, remnants of its industrial past, like the old coal mining infrastructure, are still visible throughout the town. We recommend visiting the northernmost church in the world, Svalbard Church, and the Svalbard Museum, which showcases the region’s history, climate, wildlife, and Arctic exploration.

In Longyearbyen, you can experience the Midnight Sun from late April until August 20, when the sun never sets, offering endless daylight for exploration. For dinner, the town offers diverse dining options, from fine dining at Huset to the cozy atmosphere of Kroa.
