What to do on a rainy day - 20 ideas with friends

There' s nothing better than bad weather. Don't get us wrong, we love summery weather and sunshine, but when it's wet outside we also appreciate the chance to slow down for a moment and just relax... or not.

There are a bunch of things you can do at home: catch up on sleep, snuggle up with a good book and a cup of hot cocoa, organize the photos from your last trip, have a hot bath, share an intimate moment with your partner, or simply do nothing. As explorers with itchy feet, we know that this last suggestion is by far the most difficult challenge for active people.



If you can't keep still, but the weather outside is frightful, here's what you can do.

1. Go to a museum or an art gallery
Bet you haven't seen all of them, have you? And it doesn't rain inside (unless there's a leak).
2. Visit a cave
Exploring caves is a great way to enjoy nature, even in bad weather. It doesn't rain there either.
3. Go on a spontaneous road trip or catch a train
Pack a light lunch or snacks and admire the scenery out the rain-streaked window.
4. Plan a trip
Can't go right away? Then start planning your next escape! Write down a list of dream destinations and begin your research from the comfort of your own home.
5. Create a road trip playlist
Add an extra harmonic to your next journey with a custom playlist. Get together with some friends to brainstorm a list of great driving songs to play along the way.
