Just got back from Lisbon and their tap water is totally fine to drink

Ngl, I was buying bottled water for two days before a local told me to just use the tap and saved me like 40 euros. Anyone else find a simple money saver like that in a city?

Ever think about the plastic waste from all those tourist water bottles? That local did you a solid saving cash, but they also saved like twenty plastic bottles from getting tossed. Feels like a double win when you realize you're not adding to the trash pile in a place you're just visiting.

Honestly, most of Western Europe has perfectly safe tap water. The only place I ever had an issue was in some really old buildings with questionable pipes. You just have to get over the mental block.
