You can spend an afternoon exploring the galleries in Svalbard Museum during your travels in Longyearbyen. Discover the glaciers while you're in the area.
I come for the science. But if you are a tourist, it is a very interesting place. Find someone who can really show you around. Dress warmly!

Longyearbyen is a nice tiny arctic village built on a valley surrounded by mountains. I loved it!

If visiting Svalbard its worth staying 3 to 4 days to do the different activities. Not much to do other than the activities

It would be very easy to disappear into one's self in Longyearbyen in the winter. There are enough cafes and restaurants to bring some variety, over a short-ish visit.
"absolutely first rate hotel and service, One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. A bit pricey, but quality was unmatched. Perfect location, Far enough outside of town to avoid the masses of tourists, but close enough to walk within 10 minutes. Restaurant/food was amazing, but menu was a bit short."
"Stayed three nights. Everything worked. Had a room facing the back - quiet.
Cozy (small) lobby sitting area, coffee/tea available all day. The breakfast was delicious and a very wide variety."
"As a first timer on Svalbard, the Coal Miner’s Cabin didn’t disappoint! I love how it is away from the main part of town and the rustic feel to it. It has gorgeous views and super comfortable beds. The staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. "

"I quite like The Vault’s relaxing casual style. Interior of the room is simple but modern twist. Once you used it, feel like home. I like reception area’s free tea and coffee self service. We went out then came back hotel and bit rest at ground floor sofa, then went back shopping again (shopping area is just opposite side of road). We requested same room as our last year’s stay. They gave us that room was very appreciated. The breakfast was reasonable spreads. Centre of Longyearbyen town, very handy for shopping and sightseeing. "
