Visitors come in large numbers, particularly in the summer. Several [[Bronze Age]] and [[Iron Age]] forts and attractions are on the islands:

* [[Dun Aengus]] (''Dún Aonghasa'', [[:de:s:Die araner mundart|Aran Islands Dialect]]: ''dūn aŋgəs'') is a Bronze Age and Iron Age fort on the edge of a {{convert|100|m|ft}} cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on Inishmore. It consists of a series of concentric circular walls.  The innermost—the citadel—encloses an area approximately {{convert|50|m|abbr=off}} in diameter with {{convert|4|m|adj=on|abbr=off}} thick walls of stone.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dunaonghasa.com|title=Inis Mor Bike Hire – Aran Islands Bike Hire -|work=dunaonghasa.com|access-date=20 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150801115619/http://dunaonghasa.com/|archive-date=1 August 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>
