Welcome to Longyearbyen, Svalbard, a place where there are more snowmobiles than permanent residents<\/strong>. A town where you have to stash your rifle in a special locker before entering the supermarket, where restaurants ask you to take off your shoes, and where dying is officially discouraged<\/strong>, because the local cemetery hasn’t accepted new burials for decades. That’s exactly what this northernmost fully functioning town on Earth is like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it sounds like the plot of a gritty Nordic thriller, the reality is incredibly warm and cosmopolitan. Longyearbyen on Norway’s Svalbard archipelago (Spitsbergen) is home to roughly 2,400 people from more than 60 countries<\/strong>, who together face the polar night and the unpredictable Arctic weather. You’ll find top-notch dining, cozy caf\u00e9s, a university campus, and even the northernmost brewery on the planet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide walks you through the very best the town has to offer \u2014 from snug little caf\u00e9s and dark mine shafts to where you can grab a beer brewed from glacier water. I’ll also let you know which time of year to come so you don’t get stuck in total darkness, and where to stay<\/strong>, because moving around the island comes with some very strict safety rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
