The town in Winter is surrounded by stark beauty, but it is very very cold so polar wear is obligatory. The small town offers every facility including five star dining and the wonderful Fruene Cafe. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller Brilliant place. Unique. We will be back!! ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller A lot more touristy than I had expected but a brilliant place for a short but expensive stay. ## Cities near Longyearbyen ![Photo by Anudath Brahmadathan](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/fc1a4a29a057fce84102adf01d6738d5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Barentsburg [](https://expedia.co.uk/Barentsburg.dx3000024094) - Cities near Longyearbyen - Places of interest [Barentsburg](https://expedia.co.uk/Barentsburg.dx3000024094) - [Svalbard Kirke](https://expedia.co.uk/Svalbard-Kirke-Longyearbyen.d553248621532523716.Attraction) - [University Centre in Svalbard](https://expedia.co.uk/University-Centre-In-Svalbard-Longyearbyen.d6120858.Attraction) - [Svalbard Museum](https://expedia.co.uk/Svalbard-Museum-Longyearbyen.d553248621532956388.Attraction) - [Svalbard Church](https://expedia.co.uk/Svalbard-Church-Longyearbyen.d553248621563233980.Attraction) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels when you book in the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
