Q: Is it safe to drink tap water abroad?
A: Most cities (especially in Europe) have a very high level of water quality. But if you're not sure, it is recommended that you do not use tap water for drinking, cleaning your teeth, making ice, adding to drinks or washing food that will not be cooked. Bottled water is almost always readily available but ensure it has been purchased from a reputable source and the seal on the bottle is intact.
