The main street in Longyearbyen (Image: Tom Burnett/Reach Plc) Spending months in darkness and months where the sun never goes down, Longyearbyen is probably the most remote town in Europe. Sitting on a fjord on the remote Norwegian island archipelago of Svalbard, it is one of the world's most northern settlements. The pleasant town - easily accessible by plane from the UK via a change in the Norwegian capital of Oslo - offers pleasant hotels and a range of nice, if somewhat expensive, pubs and restaurants - as well as two museums.
Visitors to this tiny town of around a thousand people - hundreds of miles north of the Arctic Circle - can also take boat trips to the remote Russian settlement of Barentsburg down the fjord or organised expeditions out into the barren wilderness. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
