Eimverk Distillery is the first and only whisky distillery in Iceland producing from 100% local ingredients; I'd recommend booking a tour as its a great experience, even if you're not a whisky nerd.😁 🥃

Traveler advice
Getting around
Getting around in Reykjavik
The easiest and most convenient way of getting around in Reykjavik is probably with a rental car. Some buses run around the city; a significant hub bus stop is a 5-minute walk from the apartment. For shorter to medium distances, I would also recommend renting an e-scooter from Hopp, which is widely available in the Reykjavik area.
