disclaimer: I used to wait tables

When I worked in a restaurant and a cafe/bar (UK, some other parts of Europe), if somebody asked for water, we were ALWAYS instructed to give them bottled water (sometimes it came from a hose, but it was still the "good stuff"). Which obviously costs.
But if customers specifically request TAP water, it's free of charge.

So the next time you order water in an unfamiliar place, make sure to order tap water! The tap water isn't actually regular tap water. It's very clean so bartenders/kitchen workers can wash their hands and dishes in it if needed. So don't worry about germs.

In some places, the tap water isn't fit for consumption, and in others (say, Italy) nobody ever drinks it in a restaurant and asking for it will earn you weird looks.

But then I've never seen bottled water anywhere being as expensive as it is in the States, so usually I just get a bottle abroad.

That's not actually true everyplace you go, though. The more popular tourist destinations in Europe are probably okay, but there are countries where this is extremely bad advice.
