The best time to visit Svalbard depends on what kind of Arctic experience you’re seeking. For those hoping to catch the Northern Lights, the polar night from late October to February offers the best conditions. During this time, the lack of daylight allows for an extended window to see the aurora, even at midday. It is one of the only places where in midwinter the aurora can be seen during the day. If you prefer the midnight sun, visit during the summer months, when the sun never sets, and the landscape is bathed in golden light for 24 hours a day.
Svalbard offers unforgettable destinations for adventure and exploration. Stay at the Radisson Blu Spitsbergen, the world’s most northerly hotel, and use Longyearbyen as your base for Arctic discoveries. Paddle along the shoreline to the Esmark Glacier, spotting seals and seabirds, or hike Värmlandsryggen for stunning views of fjords and glaciers. Experience the Arctic wilderness on a snowmobile safari along the east coast, where you could potentially encounter wild polar bears on an expert-guided tour. Finally, visit Barentsburg, a Russian settlement, for a guided tour and lunch before returning to Longyearbyen. Svalbard is truly a place of extraordinary natural beauty.
