The village is towered by the impressive Hólmatindur mountain, 985 m high and makes for a challenging hike, but the views on the top make it well worth it.

The village provides all basic services to travellers, such as coffee houses, health care services, restaurants and a grocery store.

The most popular activities and sights of the town include the seafaring museum, located in an old trade house, built in 1816 and the spar mine, which is the best-known of its kind in the world.
