]]>More important than anything is to make sure you’ve got good quality waterproof basics. Invest in a durable, yet lightweight rain jacket that fits into your luggage and is easy to carry around as you explore, and remember to include a compact umbrella that you can take out in the event of unexpected downpours.
Soggy feet are not only incredibly uncomfortable, they can leave you susceptible to injury and infection. To keep your feet warm and dry, pack waterproof boots or shoes to wear whenever the forecast calls for rain. You’ll be more comfortable walking around and will also be less likely to slip and fall on wet surfaces.
If you prefer to take a minimalist approach when it comes to packing, prioritize versatile pieces that are easy to layer. For example, include a few lightweight, moisture-wicking base layers to keep you dry and a sweater or sweatshirt that can provide insulation without adding bulk. To save more space in your suitcase, wear your waterproof jacket on the plane.

]]>One of the central concepts of Danish culture is “hygge” (pronounced “hoo-guh”), a word which can be roughly interpreted as “comfy”, “cozy”, or “familiar.” Denmark has very little sun for the wintry half of its year, and as such, each and every business is designed for maximum coziness. Tables always have candles on them, and places are decorated with warm tones and great care.
Seattle is well known as one of the rainiest spots in the USA. Residents get used to living in damp, becoming experts at staying dry, and knowing when it’s okay to get a little wet. Thanks to the rain, outdoor activities don’t abound in Seattle … but there are lots of awesome places to sit and activities to do inside. Since it’s got a largely young population, there are also lots of thrifty shops and new age coffee shops from which to watch the rain as it falls.
Cologne has more rainy days in the year than sunny, but that’s no reason not to go. They have a cable car with beautiful views of the city even in the rain, and the largest Gothic church in northern Europe which is even more amazing to view in the rain. There are also lots of great indoor activities, especially unique museums like the Chocolate Museum, the Fragrance Museum, and the Museum of Applied Arts.

]]>Fortunately, all isn’t lost on a rainy day! Here are four ways to spend time on a rainy day on your next trip.
Museums are a great option if you’re looking for something to do on a rainy day. They’re indoors, which means that you won’t get wet while seeing interesting exhibitions that’ll help you learn a little more about the world around you.
Rain got you down? Hit the restaurants! If you were planning on checking out some of the best bites of a city during your travels, a rainy day can be a perfect opportunity to do so.
Concerts, plays, and other live shows are almost always held indoors, which makes them a great rainy day option. If you find yourself in a city like New York on a day when the skies open up, why not head to Broadway?
Nothing beats the dumps of a rainy day like a hot cup of joe. Check out a city’s best coffee shops on a rainy day and experience the vibe of the area with a warm cup of comfort in your hands.

]]>Here are four especially rainy cities that you must travel to if you don’t mind getting a little wet.
Europe’s rainiest city is this port city on the Atlantic Coast of Norway, which has a gorgeous old town and a charming seaside walkway. Pack an umbrella, but get ready to see one of Norway’s best cities.
My favorite Canadian city might receive rain on an average of 170 days per year, but that makes it even more green and beautiful. Nature blends with cityscapes in this gorgeous, green, and eco-friendly city.
If you thought Spain was all about sunny weather and beaches, boy, were you wrong. Santiago de Compostela in the northwestern Galicia gets a ton of rain, which adds to the mystical charm of its old town and its world-famous Gothic cathedral.
So, what’s the rainiest city on Earth? It turns out that it’s Meghalaya, India, a place in which it rains essentially every day of the year. The city in itself is a small place, but travel outside to see natural tree root bridges and spectacular waterfalls.
