Amsterdam's tap water is high quality and safe to drink—refill a reusable bottle at public fountains or cafés. If staying in a very old building and you suspect lead piping, ask your host or use a certified filter.

Tap water in Rotterdam meets strict EU standards and is safe to drink—carry a reusable bottle. If you prefer a softer taste, use a small carbon filter or buy bottled water.

Tap water in The Hague is safe to drink and meets EU standards; drink from the tap, use ice, and brush your teeth normally, though some visitors prefer bottled water for taste.
