When you're looking for activities in Lloret and Tossa on rainy days, the Costa Brava proves that not everything depends on the sun. Museums, escape rooms and walks through covered medieval sites fill the day without getting wet. Here is a selection of verified indoor plans, with practical info to organise your day.
The key is to alternate culture and leisure without rushing. Lloret de Mar offers maritime museums and game rooms, while Tossa de Mar keeps its medieval wall and pottery workshops. Both towns are 12 km apart, so you can combine visits in one afternoon if the weather allows.
Museums in Lloret de Mar for rainy days
The Museu del Mar, housed in the old hospital of Lloret, tells the local fishing and seafaring history with model boats, navigation instruments and temporary exhibitions. Entry costs between 5 and 10 EUR, and it's open Tuesday to Sunday (closed Mondays, like most museums in the area). A full visit takes about an hour, ideal for a rainy morning.
Right next door, the Museu de la Casa de la Vila and the church of Sant Romà complete the cultural circuit. If you're keen to learn more about these spaces, check out our article on three quirky museums in Lloret de Mar.
To make the most of the day without worrying about timings, a combined ticket or an audioguide can make the visit easier.
Museums in Tossa de Mar: culture under cover
Inside the Vila Vella of Tossa, the Museu Municipal occupies the former governor's palace. It displays a collection of contemporary art, ceramics and historical objects that show the evolution of the town. The general admission is around 5 EUR, and it's also closed on Mondays. The building itself is worth a visit: its stone walls and sea-view windows offer a charming shelter when it rains.
After the museum, you can wander the cobbled streets of the Vila Vella under the arcades that protect from the rain. If you prefer a more detailed explanation, a local guide can enrich the experience. For a complete getaway, we recommend our guide on what to do in Lloret de Mar.
Indoor activities in Lloret de Mar
The Casino Lloret de Mar, in the town centre, offers gaming rooms and shows in a climate-controlled indoor environment. It's an option for adults looking for evening or afternoon entertainment. For family plans, the escape rooms (like Escape Room Lloret) set 60‑minute challenges with prices between 15 and 25 EUR per person. Booking in advance is advisable, especially at weekends.
Another alternative is the Lloret Blau shopping centre, with clothing and electronics stores and a food court. It's a 10‑minute walk from the beach, perfect for a rainy afternoon of shopping. If you're travelling with children, some shops have play areas.
If you prefer a guided activity within Lloret, a tour of the historic centre combined with a local wine tasting can be a different plan.
Under-cover plans in Tossa de Mar
The Vila Vella is not just the museum: its walls have covered passages that allow you to walk around the enclosure without getting wet. From there you can see the Far de Tossa, although access is trickier in the rain. There is also a handmade pottery shop, Ceràmica Tossa, where you can watch them work the clay in an open workshop. Prices for pieces vary, but the visit is free.
If you want to delve into the history of the place, guided tours of the wall start from the tourist office (next to the beach) and last between 1 and 2 hours. They are usually in small groups and in Spanish or Catalan. Comparatively, Tossa offers a more compact experience than Lloret for a rainy day.
Practical tips for getting between Lloret and Tossa
The distance by road is about 12 km, around 20 minutes by car or taxi. The Moventis bus connects both towns with a frequency that varies by season: in winter it usually runs every hour, in summer every 30 minutes. A single ticket costs about 3 EUR. If you take a taxi, the journey costs between 20 and 25 EUR.
Most museums close on Mondays, so plan your visit from Tuesday to Sunday. Winter hours are usually 10:00 to 17:00 or 18:00. For escape rooms, availability is wider, but it's best to book a day in advance. On rainy days, Lloret's centre gets more crowded indoors, so arriving early helps avoid queues.
