Water fountains in Florence
100
free public drinking fountains, called fontanelli, mapped within a 2.7 km walk of the centre. They run continuously, cost nothing, and the water is the same supply as the tap.
Tap water in Florence is safe to drink, and the fountains carry the same supply. See why

Is it safe to drink from them?
Fountain water is the same supply as the tap, so the answer is whatever the answer is for Florence's tap water. That is a question with published figures behind it rather than an opinion.

Fountain locations come from OpenStreetMap contributors, refreshed 1 September 2026. A fountain that is mapped is not guaranteed to be running: they are turned off for repairs, and in some cities over winter.
