I moved here a few weeks ago from UAE and was wondering about the drinking water out of the tap.   We usually get bottled water at restaurants or in the Pingo Doce but my friends tell me you can drink it out of the tap.  In UAE we never did this so I wanted to ask online to see if it was okay.

I'm in Lisbon and it is perfectly ok to drink out of the tap here. In fact, the city encourages it. I've been drinking tap water in Lisbon for 2 years and I've had no problems :)
