Snapchat brings Spectacles to Europe and signs deal with BT Sport

Snapbots, Snap's Spectacles vending machines, will turn up this morning in London, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin and Venice.

Snapchat brings Spectacles to Europe and signs deal with BT Sport

This is the first time Snapchat has made Spectacles available for sale in Europe. 

As a clue to where to locate the vending machines, check out locations that are "surprising, fun and inspire memory-making". 

Snap plans to roll out more bots across the five countries this summer. New locations will be teased via a map on Spectacles.com 24 hours before the bots turn up. 

The machines accept all major credit and debit cards which is fortunate as a pair of Spectacles will set you back £129.99.

If you can't find or get to a Snapbot, you can buy Spectacles from the website instead if you live in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

This launch, along with a deal Snap signed with BT Sport yesterday, indicates the company's expansion plans in Europe. 

Under the partnership deal, Snapchat will produce Our Stories clips for the semi-finals between AS Monaco and Juventus, and Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, and will now include coverage of the Uefa Champions League Final on Saturday 3 June direct from Cardiff.
