Brussels in the Rain: HOHO Indoor Plan

Reorder stops for wet days: a museum-first HOHO itinerary with warm cafés and short walks.

Brussels rooftops under moody weather

Principle

Place indoor museums first, then short outdoor photo stops if/when the rain eases.

Suggested order

  1. Magritte Museum — Morning indoors.
  2. Bozar — Exhibitions + coffee.
  3. Belgian Beer World — Tasting rooms.
  4. Mont des Arts — Quick rain-window photos.

Carry a compact umbrella and sit lower deck if winds are high.

Café warm-ups

  • Around Royal area — covered arcades.
  • Near Grand Place — dense options.

Table: Outdoor shots worth a dash

Spot Why Time
Grand Place Façades pop after rain 10–15m
Mont des Arts Skyline clears quickly 15–20m

Bottom line

HOHO keeps transfers dry and efficient so you can salvage the day even when skies are stubborn.

Wet-weather gear checklist

  • Compact umbrella
  • Waterproof jacket
  • Microfiber cloths (lens + phone)

Transit tips

  • Favor lower deck in wind bursts.
  • Hop shorter segments; avoid lingering at exposed stops.

Café shortlist

  • Royal area arcades: covered routes.
  • Center streets: dense cafés for warm-ups.

Rain photography

  • Embrace reflections and moody skies.
  • Shoot façades just after showers.
