When exploring a new city, there is no such thing as bad or good weather. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Portuguese capital\u2019s beauty stands out as much on gray days as it does in countless weeks of sunshine. There\u2019s no need to run for the shelter of your hotel room once you start to feel a few drops\u2014in fact, a rainy day can be one of the best times to explore Lisbon. Our tips for things to do in Lisbon in the rain are a mix of outdoor and indoor activities\u2014after all, that\u2019s the spirit of this city.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"These<\/figure>\n\n\n

1. Go to a Museum with a View<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a city with around 300 days of sunshine a year<\/a>, it may seem tempting to leave museums at the bottom of your must-see list. After all, you\u2019re dying to take in all that light that makes Lisbon so popular and that your friends can\u2019t stop talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rainy day is perfect to visit one of the best museums in Lisbon<\/a>: Museu do Aljube<\/a>. Here, Portugal\u2019s most recent past is on display in an educational but not monotonous way. And to wrap all that up, there\u2019s a caf\u00e9 at the top floor where you can see rainy Lisbon while sipping coffee by the window\u2014one of the coziest rainy day activities in Lisbon without a doubt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Visit a Bookstore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For some, a rainy day is the perfect excuse to curl up with a book. Can that also mean running your fingers over colorful spines at a quiet bookstore and finding even more books to grow your collection? Yes, it most certainly can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palavra de Viajante<\/a>, in \u201cThe Triangle,\u201d<\/a> is a treasure trove both for those looking for a very specific book and for those just browsing. This independent bookstore specializes in the travel niche, and it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll leave empty-handed. That book about your dream destination (other than Lisbon, of course) you had no idea you were looking for but now you can\u2019t put down? This is where you\u2019ll find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Catch a Movie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When was the last time you got so pulled in by the silver screen that you completely lost track of time? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is it one of the best rainy day activities wherever you are in the world, but here in Lisbon (and everywhere else in Portugal, in fact) foreign movies are subtitled, not dubbed, so you\u2019ll feel right at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catching a movie when traveling is also one more way to get the city under your skin and feel \u201clike a local.\u201d Head to UCI – El Corte Ingl\u00eas<\/a> if you want variety, large seats, and popcorn. Or go slightly off the beat with independent films at Cinema Ideal<\/a>, steps away from Pra\u00e7a Cam\u00f5es in the city center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Tour the Ocean\u00e1rio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Where\u2019s the only place in Lisbon where you can get out of the rain, go underwater, and still be dry? We won\u2019t make it hard for you to solve this riddle. Both educational and soothing, a trip to Ocean\u00e1rio<\/a> is always a great experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re visiting Lisbon with kids and you\u2019re struggling with creative ways to entertain them on a rainy day, spending an afternoon at the Ocean\u00e1rio feels like a blessing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Take a Tram Ride<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lisbon tram 28<\/a> is not the only tram you can ride in the city, although it\u2019s by far the most popular (and the most crowded). Tourists don\u2019t shy away from standing in line to travel this famous route, even if it\u2019s raining cats and dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re keen on doing the route, opt for the less crowded paid tours on the green or red trams. If your heart is set on riding the postcard-perfect turmeric-yellow cars, regardless of the direction, head to Pra\u00e7a de Cam\u00f5es and hop on Tram 24<\/a> instead. It has all the same charm with far fewer crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
