I met up for lunch with a buddy and his partner who was visiting from Europe. I mentioned that I drink a lot of water and asked for a refill, they asked if water was free.
Typically they ask you for still or sparkling while dining and they charge in Europe. In London, I typically just say, "tap". They had to legally serve it.
Yeah, tap water is something you can ask for basically everywhere and its free, bonus if it's in a place with amazing tap water
Now that's an intriguing idea: who has amazing tap water?
Scotland.
well I don't know but fun fact: Tallinn and the district of nõmme in Tallinn have separate tap water systems
It depends on the country, in Greece it's usually free, maybe in touristy places or if you order bottled water you will be charged, but otherwise most places will give you cold tap water for free.
I think it's legally required to give tap water for free mostly everywhere, but if you don't specify it they might sneak in an outrageously expensive bottle of mineral water, it's basically a way to scam tourists.
In Italy they don't, Italians are weird like that. It's also a country where nearly everyone doesn't trust their tap water and buy water in plastic bottles...
