Welcome to the northernmost town in the world! The former mining town of Longyearbyen is now a cultural melting pot with visitors and residents from all over the globe. Despite this, the Arctic settlement has never lost its historical heritage and presents itself as open and diverse. Join us on a tour of Longyearbyen to learn more about its history, culture, and what drives the people here today.

If you complete the tour from start to finish without a break, it will take you about 3 hours. However, some of our stops are not just for viewing but also for exploring. Should you decide to do this—which we highly recommend—it might take you an extra hour.

You can take our audio walk at any time of day or year. However, we suggest aligning your visit with the opening hours of museums and shops if you plan to visit them. Most establishments open by 10 AM at the latest.

We hope you enjoy your Arctic audio walk in Longyearbyen!
