The programme

Let us guide you on a discover of Longyearbyen, where everyday life is mixed with the extreme environment of the Arctic, creating a surreal and totally unique atmosphere. Walk along "Drammensvei" ("dram" street, yes, but stay sober :-) and "Melkeveien" (milk street, where even cows would have a story to tell). Between stories of local trade and peculiar anecdotes, the tour will entertain you and teach you how to drink... with a little style. Now it's time to prepare for the most interesting part of all: a visit to the Svalbard Brewery. Here, the glacier water is not only used to keep the city cool, but also to make beer! You'll be able to sip each of the five artisan varieties - perhaps as you look down on the machinery at work in the production area. Here, beer has a legendary history, just like the founder of this brewery who fought against the ban on producing alcohol on Svalbard. In short, it's a tour that will leave you with the taste of Svalbard in your mouth (and maybe even a little in your glass)!
