# What to Do in Bruges When It Rains (And It Will Rain)

Bruges gets rain about 200 days a year. Here's how to spend a wet afternoon.

Bruges is in coastal Flanders. It rains frequently. But rainy Bruges is arguably more atmospheric than sunny Bruges.

The Groeningemuseum is an obvious choice. The Bruges Beer Experience on the Markt is more commercial but fun. De Halve Maan brewery does tours every hour and finishes with a beer on the rooftop terrace.

For coffee, Café Vlissinghe on Blekersstraat has been open since 1515 — one of the oldest cafés in Belgium.
