Travel Vaccinations for Svalbard

This Norwegian archipelago is situated between mainland Norway and the North Pole. Due to its geography and Arctic climate, Svalbard remains largely untamed, which is the appeal for many visitors. Nature-based activities are run by local guides with significant knowledge of the area, with these ranging from fishing trips to ATV safaris.

Despite the tiny population, the city of Longyearbyen has much to offer to visitors. A trip to the Arctic museum gives tourists an insight into the history of the area, while the art gallery displays pieces created locally. Additionally, guided walking tours ensure that travellers can see all of the city’s attractions.

Sustainability is also a focus of tourism in Svalbard, as the delicate Arctic environment must be properly taken care of. Spreading out guest traffic throughout the course of the year stops the area becoming overcrowded at any one time, thus preserving it.
