On average, Montreal gets up to 154 rainfall days, which are spread throughout the year, with no wet or dry season. In other words, it rains a lot in Montreal. However, this doesn't make the city any less charming or interesting to live in or visit.



Still, the truth is that it is much easier to organize some activities when the day is sunny - all that you need on sunny days is a picnic bag, a picnic blanket, a nice park, a bunch of people, and you are in for a treat. Opposite this, rainy cities just need more organization, which is why they often offer some of the best activities.

Check below what you can do in Montreal when it's raining.

Start With A Nice Drink
An all-time favourite activity for rainy days is to stay alone with someone. However, this doesn't mean that you should stay home all day because the best memories are created when outside with friends, family, and with your loved ones in general.

You may love being indoors when it's raining, but that should not stop you from experiencing something new, like grabbing a drink - so take a beer tour in Montreal when it's raining and enjoy some of the finest beers in the world. Just make sure that you stay responsible and always drink in moderation.

Visit Planetarium
Are you into astrology, or do you really find the Universe mysterious? If you have an interest in space, for whatever the reasons might be, you should definitely check Montreal's Planetarium. This is a perfect indoor activity. Check the Planetarium at the Olympic Park, and while you are there, check the Cosmodome in Laval if you want a place with fewer tourists around. You will be surprised just how much knowledge of astronomy can make you say wow in no time.

Enjoy The Food Scene Of Montreal
Who doesn't like a delicious meal on a rainy day, or any other day, right? Did you know that Montreal has one of the best foodie scenes in North America? Check what this place has to offer to meat lovers and to those who prefer a plant-based diet. If you love bagels, make sure that you head to Mile End for the best bagels in town. Some of the best bagels are found in Fairmount or St-Viateur. After that, you can make a tour of Basilica Notre-Dame and enjoy that old town spirit that lives in the early 19th century.
