Rainy days can single-handedly ruin your fall and winter vacation, but only if you give them that power. Traveling in rainy and gloomy weather isn’t ideal, but there are still many fun activities you can do without stepping into the downpour, starting with these five.
Museum Visits
If you’re a passionate museum dweller, museums are already on your bucket list, and there’s no better way to kill a few hours on a rainy day than exploring them.
Bookstores and Libraries
Bookstores and libraries are a place to be if you’re looking for a peaceful place to spend a rainy afternoon. Look for one with a café on the premises, where you can enjoy a good book with a warm cup of tea or coffee.
Shopping for Souvenirs
Instead of leaving shopping for souvenirs until the last minute, put rainy days to some good use and explore local markets and malls.
Spa Day
If you’re in the mood for the ultimate relaxation, taking a spa day when it’s raining outside is also a good idea, especially if you’re visiting a destination famous for its thermal baths and pools.
Cafés & Restaurants
You probably have an endless list of cafés and restaurants you want to visit during your travels, and a delicious meal and a warm cup of local coffee will make you forget about the rain.
