Things to do in Vancouver when in Rains
Vancouver consistently hits the top of the charts for best place in the world to visit and to live. It is a Mecca for people who love the great outdoors. However, our beautiful city does have a few well earned nick names that garner groans from residents and visitors alike: Raincouver and Raincity. If you are relocating to Vancouver, or staying long-term, it can be difficult to get used to the grey days.
Some residents barely even notice the drizzle; they just pack an umbrella and carry on. Others prefer to hole up with a good book until a beautiful sunny day draws them outdoors again. If you are the latter and he rain really does makes you melt there are still many things to do in Vancouver indoors.

The Vancouver Art Gallery is centrally located making it a convenient stop to escape the rain and find some inspiration. The world-class galley has ever changing exhibits that have a broad appeal. Check the gallery schedule for special events and programming.
