Tips from local experts:
- Bring government ID showing your date of birth — Iceland's legal drinking age is 20 and staff will check IDs before tastings.
- Public transport: take Bus #1 from central Reykjavík to the Ásgarður stop, then walk about 8 minutes to Lyngás; allow 30–40 minutes total from downtown Reykjavík depending on connections.
- Arrive 5–10 minutes early to check in; the distillery does not provide food service and has limited seating, so plan any snacks beforehand if needed.
