Planning a trip to Italy. Is the faucet water in Italy OK for drinking? Or should I stay with bottlewater?

Answer 1

Had a friend live go to germany for two weeks and she was able to drink straight from the tap. However it is highly recommended that you drink bottled instead of the tappped, because regions can have a different set of guidelines for water and some of it might have a high content such as lead in it. So when in doubt tote that poland about.

Answer 2

Mineral water in same part of Italy the tap water is nice but not every where.

Answer 3

the tap wate was ok to drink(like in restraunts when they put a pitcher of water out) didn't give me any stomach problems but everone is different...so to be on the safe side buy bottled water....though it is slightly overpriced in some places

Answer 4
