One thing you don't expect before you come to Europe is the surprising lack of drinking fountains. Even major cities like Paris have no drinking fountains. We even asked someone at the Louvre, and he said: "Drinking fountains aren't really Parisian. There's water in the restroom, but it's not very good!" We have quickly learned the value of bringing your own water bottle when visiting cities in Europe. If you don't, you end up overpaying for water you can get for free in your hotel or residence.
