What to do in Lisbon on a rainy day ?
1. Escape Game
The Escape Game is making the buzz and it's just starting. If you do not know yet the concept is to get out of a room in less than 60 minutes. Easier said than done because puzzles and challenges will appeal to your brains and will put your nerves to the test.
We recommend the Mystery Escape Game Lisbon. His exciting scenarios will make you have a good time with friends or family.

Where: Rua do Sol ao Rato, 88A
Hours: from 11h to 23h
Price: 40 to 70 € per team (2 to 5 players) | 1 hour
2. Go to the theater
It is a great option for any day, rain or sun. The National Theater of São Carlos is one of the most beautiful in Lisbon. The rich and varied programming makes it a regular option possible. We currently recommend the Opera Maurice Ravel: the child and the spells.

4. Visit a Museum

5. Cinema
It's a solution like any other. But on rainy days it's still one of the best plans for, say, a Saturday night.
There are many cinemas in Lisbon, from the most blockbuster to the most alternative, in VO and even in French (Amoreiras) with also film festivals that take place throughout the year.
We left two suggestions for channels: the UCI Cinemas and the Ideal Cinema.
UCI cinemas
Where: El Corte Inglés and Dolce Vita Tejo
Price: Normal ticket € 6.9 - family discounts, Yorn, etc.
Note: the Popcorn is essential :)
Ideal Cinema
Where: Loreto Street, 15
Price: from 5 to 7 € according to time and day
Note: A movie theater in the heart of Lisbon, away from the crowds of shopping centers
6. Tea or hot chocolate?
nd why not enjoy a rainy night, often accompanied by a cold that comes to the tip of his nose, to find strength in the company of tea or hot chocolate?
And of course, a hot drink is always accompanied by a homemade cake. Here is an address we recommend.
Where: Fábulas - Calçada Nova de São Francisco, nº 14
Hours: Monday to Thursday from 11h to 23h; Friday and Saturday from 11am to midnight
