Stay Hydrated With Lisbon’s Drinking Fountains

Map Points of Drinking Fountains in Central Lisbon, How it Helps Reduce Single-Used Plastic, and Our Helping Tool for Your Long Walks!

Enjoying Lisbon’s sunny strolls but suddenly feeling parched and in need of some fresh water? But you also don’t particularly want to purchase those single-use plastic water bottles since they merely add to waste and pollution, right? The issue is that you don’t know where to find the drinking fountains easily.

It's Ok LisBeyond Tips are Here to Help You!

Map Points

First things first: while walking around central Lisbon, where and how can you find the drinking fountains?
In that case, we suggest a solution that will direct you to the nearby supply of drinking water in an effective and simple method. The “Water-Map App” is a current popular app that promotes using refillable water bottles.
This app locates every drinking fountain in the heart of Lisbon. And we found out, there are actually quite many of them! You only need to type in your location to see all the ones that are nearest to you. For instance, Doca da Ribeira das Naus has three drinking fountains that are ideal for direct drinking and bottle refilling.

Also, it’s collaborative, which is the greatest part! — in other words, you can manually add the drinking fountains on the map. There are steps you would need to do, of course, but after a few days it will be visible to everyone!

This app also offers tabs with useful information. The world’s present plastic crisis, its effects on health, the toxicity of bottle plastics, and whether bottled water is preferable to tap water can all be read about in the app.
Having the Water-Map App on your phone when travelling is undoubtedly beneficial!

Wondering Why or How This Reduces Single-Used Plastic Bottles?

Why and How?

Enjoying Lisbon’s sunny strolls but suddenly feeling parched and in need of some fresh water? But you also don’t particularly want to purchase those single-use plastic water bottles since they merely add to waste and pollution, right? The issue is that you don’t know where to find the drinking fountains easily.

The Water-Map App will make it easier for you to access fresh water wherever you are. There are some days when fresh water sources are limited. You may use this app to find portable drinking fountains wherever you go. Continually accessible on your phone and integrated with Google Maps. It will help you become less reliant on single-used bottles with each passing day.
Avoiding having to constantly buy single-used plastic water bottles from stores, will benefit both your wallet and the environment.
Experts say, single-use plastics are disposable packaging and other items designed to be used only once and then discarded. Plastics consume a huge amount of energy, water, and natural resources to serve a customer for just a few minutes
