Longyearbyen

Svalbard and Jan Mayen - Classic Svalbard

Longyearbyen, the administrative centre of Svalbard, is a tiny Norwegian metropolis with 2,400 residents from almost 53 different countries.

The small Arctic town is inhabited by nature enthusiasts living close to severe climatic conditions with the High Arctic wilderness on their doorstep. Longyearbyen is the gateway to nature-based experiences and the starting point for most Svalbard adventures, where the Arctic wilderness starts in the town centre and never ends.
