London, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona and Venice are the first cities outside of the United States to be visited by the bright yellow vending machines, known as Snapbots.

It is from the Snapbots that Snapchat users can get coral, teal or black Spectacles that allow them to directly broadcast what they are seeing to their friends.

The newest Snapbots have appeared in front of monuments and heavily visited areas, such as The London Eye, by the Venice canals, on the beach in Barcelona and in front of the Eiffel Tower.

Snapchat has teased that the machines will appear in additional "surprising locations around the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy.” The exact location is usually hinted at on the spectacles.com website, 24 hours before the drop.

Even if Snapbots do not land in your city, those in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden and the United Kingdom will also be able to buy the colorful glasses through the Snapchat website, where they sell for £129.99 (US$167.4) or €149.99 a pair.
