Brussels on a Rainy Day: 10 Indoor Things to Do (Tastings, Museums, Cafes)

🌧 Rain plan🍺 Beer Museum🍫 Chocolate

On a rainy day in Brussels, spend your time on indoor tastings, museums, covered shopping galleries and cafes. Autumn and winter bring rain to Belgium often, so it is smart to have a plan. Our 4-hour beer tasting tour includes the Beer Museum, old taverns and 3 chocolate tastings, so much of it is indoors.
