It has a busy harbour, fringed by cliffs, with a pier designed by Thomas Telford. Attractions in the town include the Aros Centre and the An Tuireann Arts Centre, both of which celebrate the island's Gaelic heritage. The town also profits as a centre for tourists exploring the island. It contains some renowned restaurants, but reservations are necessary and parking can be very hard to come by.
