Longyearbyen, Svalbard-Norway.
I am not a professional, just made this video for my memory, sharing it here as it might help someone who wants to know how Longyearbyen looks like.
SVALBARD POLAR BEAR RIFLE | Oslo to Svalbard Flight - Longyearbyen Airport
Flying to Svalbard is like a dream come true! And I was looking forward to (hopefully) seeing a Svalbard Polar Bear face to face on this journey.
Although Svalbard is part of Norway, it is an independent territory and not part of the Schengen Area. As a result, flying from Oslo to Svalbard is considered to be an international flight.
The flight from Oslo to Longyearbyen Airport took three hours, and I finally arrived in Svalbard Airport around 1:30 in the morning - the sun started to rise about 20 minutes later. It felt very surreal to experience this.
I stayed in Gjestehuset 102, a great guest house in Svalbard. You can check it out and book it here if you like:
If you are looking for Svalbard accommodations, here's our ultimate list of hotels in Svalbard:
Visit Svalbard offers a free bike rental, which you can arrange while you're in town.
The official Svalbard tourism information, in center Longyearbyen, is a great place to start your Svalbard experience. Here, you can get any information regarding Longyearbyen and things to do in Svalbard, as well as arrange Svalbard hotels and tours.
I was very intrigued with the Svalbard Polar Bear protection measure, so I looked for more information on rifle and gun regulation in Svalbard. I visited Longyear 78 grader, an amazing outdoor store, where you can rent or purchase polar bear guns (or more accurately, polar bear rifle)
To be clear, polar bears are an endangered species and it is not possible to hunt a polar bear in Svalbard. That said, there are tons of polar bears in Svalbard - and you have to carry a rifle and polar bear protection if you need to step outside the Longyearbyen city center.

HOW EXPENSIVE IS SVALBARD? | Cost of groceries and food in Longyearbyen Coop
For this week's vlog, we thought it would be helpful to take you around the biggest supermarket in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Surprisingly, I found that Svalbard cost of living (at least the supermarket food prices) are not that expensive.
From produce prices, Svalbard alcohol and beer, to the bread and whale meat, Co-op Svalbard has it all. And even better, they have a locker to store your polar bear rifle if you need it!

Svalbard in Norway 2019
Svalbard, Norway's pearl with a magical atmosphere and nature that does not exist anywhere else in the world. Snowmobile trip from Longyearbyen to Barentsburg is a must! Here's a video from our trip that might motivate you to go there :D

Svalbard museum 1:12:29
Coal Mining 1:14:55
Dog Sledding 1:43:26
My four nights stay in Svalbard during the month of June '19. I was able to experience the polar summer for the first time. Svalbard is actually a Norwegian archipelago between the mainland Norway and the North Pole at 78 degree N. The midnight sun is the highlight of the area during this phase. I had booked a boat cruise 46:59 during my stay to visit the abandoned town owned by Russia, Pyramiden 55:28. The Nordenskiöld glacier 54:22 proved to be a unique spot for spotting polar bears and seals. Dog Sledding 1:43:26 although more prominent during the winter ice and snow, it was worth a try on wagon wheel carts to get the gist of it. I also managed to book a separate tour in the coal mines where the guide 1:14:55 gave us a very informative session on explaining how the coal mining work was typically carried out in Longyearbyen. A quick visit to the Svalbard museum 1:12:29 helped me to gather some insight on the 400 year old history of the settlement along with types of plants and animals that existed there.

Norway's Svalbard, a haven at world's end
With its harsh and frozen landscape, the Svalbard archipelago, the last outpost before the North Pole, is a surprising haven for people from all walks of life, some as far away as Thailand and Iran. Although it officially belongs to Norway, Svalbard has a special status which means that anyone can go there without a visa. Duration: 02:21.
Tour of Longyearbyen, the World's Northermost Town
Longyearbyen on Svalbard is the world's northernmost permanently inhabited community:
The population is just a little over 2,000, yet in many ways Longyearbyen functions like any other town. There's a supermarket, bars, church, cinema, school, and even a municipal swimming pool. Come with me on a tour of Longyearbyen!
Places Mentioned:
Polar Permaculture: Growing food in the High Arctic
Huset: Fine dining at 78 degrees north

Norway on a Budget #3
Longyearbyen world's northernmost town, surprisingly has bargains to be discovered. Yes, even in Norway's High Arctic there is some affordability for the budget traveler.
The Svalbard tourist information center distributes free bicycle rentals and although the ride itself isn't special, it sure beats beating the pavement on foot. Matt cycles in Norway Land of the Midnight Sun to view a sunset over the town and other unique features in this remote northern village.
Magnificent Svalbard reindeer are observed in town as is the helicopter during an Arctic Search and Rescue. The village's school, greenhouse and an abandoned mine are also on display during this ride when, even on flat roads, a free bicycle presents its physical challenges.
And during some down periods, the role of the Svalbard Governor and his responsibilities are discussed in this tranquil town.

LONGYEARBYEN Northernmost Arctic Town | Gjestehuset 102 Hostel Svalbard | ✈️Fly to Tromsø
In this video, I'll show you Nybyen and Longyearbyen – Visit Svalbard has a map of Longyearbyen and plenty of information for any touristy questions you may have!
Even better, you can actually rent a bike for free from Visit Svalbard. All you have to do is to reserve one, either by email or in person.
I stayed at Gjestehuset 102 hostel, which is located in Nybyen. It is about a 20 minute walk from Longyearbyen town center, but only about a 6-minute bike ride. Gjestehuset 102 is a great place to consider if you are on a budget trip to Svalbard.
This guest house is located not too far from the Longyear Glacier, in the Longyear Valley (which the capital of Svalbard is named after: Longyearbyen).
Book this hostel here if you like:

Svalbard : Where Everyone Can Live Without A Visa
Disclaimer : Do not watch this video for visa information. Do not ask me how to actually go to Svalbard. This video is not meant be immigration advice. Please consult an expert or agent on these matters.
Svalbard! A beautiful Arctic Wonderland! It's absolutely unique in one way, and it's not the fact that there are probably more polar bears than there are people here. It's that you don't need a visa to live there. What? How? Watch this video, sort of documentary to find out, and pack your bags so you can go to Svalbard for your vacations this summer. Maybe. Depends. Conditions apply.

DISCLAIMER : History is complicated, and this video is an oversimplified overview of the complicated history of Svalbard. Take this YouTube video with a pinch of salt. However, I would really appreciate it if you point out the inaccuracies in this video, should they exist, in the comments so that I can also learn where I went wrong.

SVALBARD Camping + STICKER SHOCK = Longyearbyen World's NORTHERNMOST Town (NORWAY on a Budget)
Norway on a Budget #2
Longyearbyen world's northernmost town presents a new travel experience and challenges for Borders on Budgets. Fortunately, Svalbard camping offers affordable accommodations.
The Svalbard Islands in Norway's High Arctic contains Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on Earth at the 78°N. Life in this remote village has its unique features and qualities including the Svalbard airport, the world's northernmost airport.
Refreshed after a deep slumber in his tent at the campsite in Longyearbyen, Matt shares his initial impressions upon seeing the Svalbards in the brilliant Arctic daylight:
- how can the Svalbards be affordable for travellers? Camping.
- how expensive is the airfare? Surprisingly, not bad
- why are there no flags on license plates? Because Svalbard is not in the EU
- who owns the Svalbards? Norway, but with limited sovereignty.
- wait, how expensive is Norway and the Oslo airport? You don't want to know.
And yes, the campsite, airport and Longyearbyen are safe from polar bears. So, comfortably we can walk along the shoreline.
While filming is occurring at 6 p.m., the same brilliant sunshine occurred until 4 a.m. the next day. This is, after all, Norway Land of the Midnight Sun.

SVALBARD FOOD | Kroa Restaurant, Reindeer Burgers, Northernmost Brewery & Chocolate
There's lots of great Svalbard food in these amazing restaurants in Longyearbyen! We love doing DIY food tours, and this time, we are exploring Svalbard.
First stop is Mary Ann's Polarrigg Hotel and Restaurant. It was recommended by Visit Svalbard as a place where you can get authentic Svalbard cuisine. You can find exotic Arctic dishes here, such as whale or seal steak, and reindeer dishes. Not to mention, the Mary Ann hotel has very eclectic decorations throughout the place.
Next is the Kroa Restaurant, located in Longyearbyen town center. It is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, offering a cozy dining area, friendly staff, as well as an amazing selection of 'everyday' food. Get the tasty burger, or pizza - one of the best selling dish of Kroa. Thank you to Kroa and Visit Svalbard for having me in this relaxing (and tasty) experience!
I also visited the Northernmost Brewery in the world, Svalbard Bryggery, as well as Fruene Cafe - the northernmost chocolate factory in the world! Sjokolade fra Fruene cafe is definitely a must visit for your coffee break.
For dinner, I decided to visit another great restaurant, the Coal Miners' Cabin restaurant. It is located in Nybyen, not too far from the Gjestehuset 102 guesthouse where I stayed. It is more of a hangout place for budget hostelers, as several guesthouses and budget hostels are located in the area.
One of the must eats here in the Coal Miners' Cabin restaurant is the Svalbard specialty - Reindeer Burger. I found it very gamey and it had a very strong smell - it took a while to get used to the taste and the smell.
