The town is a transport hub and a common starting point for coach tours across Lofoten and Vesteralen. In town there is an ice gallery and bar. Nearby Kabelvag was the site of Vagar, the first known town in northern Norway, and the island fishing village of Henningsvaer lies a short drive south-west.
