Visit A Museum
If it starts to rain or worse, there’s a storm on the forecast, then you should think about heading to a museum. This is a great chance to learn about the local history of a location.

Head Out Shopping
Make sure that you do checkout the exchange rates for the country that you are visiting. You might find that things are a lot cheaper compared to at home and it can be a great saving.

Cinemas are a great choice for rainy day leisure options and you can also enjoy a film while having a bite to eat.

Don’t forget, if you are visiting a new country you can also use theaters to explore a taste of the local culture with films you won’t find at home.
As you can see, there are a few rainy day leisure options to consider if you’re stuck with bad weather while on holiday. It doesn’t have to be a total wash out.
