Where Polar Bears Play And The Sun Never Sleeps

Who wouldn’t like to visit the northernmost city in the world? Then head over to Longyearbyen, located on the remote archipelago of Svalbard. This Arctic wonderland will keep reminding you that you have reached the edge of the world, especially when the polar bears come out to play!

Despite its chilly reputation, Longyearbyen will warm your heart with its vibrant community and fascinating history. Explore the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a frozen fortress preserving the world’s seeds and biodiversity. A not-so-fun fact, since 1950, it is “forbidden” to die in Longyearbyen as it’s so cold that decomposition doesn’t happen at all! So dying here is illegal due to permafrost preservation!
