    Excellent and worth the money. (100 Norwegian krona. ) The description and history of Svalbard is very interesting, and if you can spare the time to read the details you will learn a lot more. There is even a makeshift narrow coal miners tunnel that you can actually crawl into and get the feeling of what it was like. We spent 4 hours there and had to be asked to leave as they were closing.

    Not just a beautiful church, but a place for the community. Everyone is welcome, whether for a church service or other events (e.g. toddler group).
    The church has its own small (souvenir) shop. Hot drinks are also available for a voluntary donation.

    This guided tour was a great way to learn about the history of exploration into the Arctic! If you’re interested in this history, definitely book the guided tour—the museum might be confusing without the tour, but with it, I learned so many interesting and unique stories about the explorers (and one spunky little dog!). The guide was knowledgeable and passionate, and I had a great time!

    This holiday has been absolutely incredible, undoubtedly one of the best I've ever experienced. Lee has been exceptionally helpful throughout, grasping exactly what I envisioned for my trip and crafting an outstanding package that encompassed all my desires. Despite facing delays during my outbound flight due to weather conditions, Lee displayed remarkable flexibility, swiftly assisting me in rearranging plans at the eleventh hour. His profound familiarity with the region and its activities shines through, as he expertly guided me towards the finest options available. I wholeheartedly endorse Lee's expertise and services, as they have truly enhanced my holiday beyond measure.

    We were looking for somewhere to have coffee when we came across this gallery.
    Having removed our footwear, we headed upstairs.
    Very modern cafe serving excellent coffee, cakes etc. we stayed that long that we had a second coffee!
    Free WiFi.
    We didn’t go into the exhibition side, nice quality gifts for sale.
    Don’t miss it, it looks nothing from the outside.

    Visited the information office at the port and they were very helpful in arranging a tour at the last minute, even calling the operator to make sure they were available on short notice.

    An amazing company. Not only is their transportation prompt and effective, but they are incredibly kind and helpful. I left my headphones on a bus, and they were able to locate and return them them 3 days later and deliver them to my hotel promptly (including searching the buses I had taken), saving me several hundred dollars. Absolutely phenomenal company!!!

    Definately worth a visit, even if just for the decor. Great selection of drinks, awesome atmosphere and vibe. Irish coffees are the bomb.

    We stayed at longyearbyen for a short time before travelling to the tunabreen glacier by boat. To describe the scenery here is hard enough, but it is a special place, it is a moving place, but it is being damaged by global warming, if you can get here even for one day, do so, it will leave you with many memories.

    I spent 8 days in Svalbard and visited each and every store. Barbara’s is by far the best place to purchase something you will cherish for the rest of your life. The photos, prints and local art works are truely beautiful. I purchased 2 framed photos and they were packaged for travel at no extra charge . They survived 3 flights and even the Australian baggage handlers. It’s worth visiting even if you don’t purchase anything . Ten out of ten!

    This service was very convenient. The busses are waiting when flights arrive, and we paid by credit card on board the bus.
