WHEN IT RAINS · STILL WORTH IT

# Bruges shines in the rain 

Rain is not a wasted day here — wet cobbles double the lamplight and empty the squares. And when you do want a roof, the whole city is a short, sheltered walk away.

Evergreen guide 

## Small enough that weather never traps you

Bruges is small enough that weather never traps you. Duck between a museum, a chocolatier and a warm café and you'll barely notice the drizzle — you'll just have the place more to yourself.

## The indoor city

This is museum weather. The Groeningemuseum and its Flemish Primitives, Michelangelo's Madonna in the Church of Our Lady, the Memling panels at the old hospital — all warm, all uncrowded, all a few minutes apart.

## Chocolate and beer, warm and dry

A tasting at Choco-Story, a tour of a working brewery, hot chocolate thick enough to eat with a spoon — the wet-weather classics are also the best of Bruges. Nobody minds if you linger while it pours outside.

## Long lunches and café hours

The rainy-day masterclass is the Bruges brown café: a window seat, a good beer or a coffee, and no reason to rush. Watch the rain do its thing on the canal and let the afternoon go slow.
