Rainy summer days in Siegen don’t have to ruin your mood (or your plans). Whether you want to stay cozy, be productive, or hang out with friends, here are some ideas:
1. Cozy Café Hangouts
Grab your laptop, a book, or a friend and head to Kaffeeküche, Café Planlos or Café del Sol. Order a coffee, watch the rain outside, and maybe even get some uni work done!
2. Explore the Siegerlandmuseum
Located in the Oberes Schloss, this museum offers local history, art, and exhibitions. A great way to feel “cultured” while staying dry.
3. Cheap Movie Night
Check out Viktoria Filmtheater for indie and international films. It’s cozy, student‑friendly, and often cheaper than big cinema chains. You can also go to the CineStar Cinema, there is also a ,,Film der Woche‘‘ which is way cheaper than a regular movie.
4. Free Art Inspiration
Drop by Haus Seel in the city center,it‘s a free gallery with rotating exhibitions. Small, but nice for a quick cultural break between errands.
5. Indoor Sports & Swimming
Stay active by visiting the Löhrtor indoor pool or joining one of the university’s Hochschul Sport indoor courses.
6. Library Vibes
Spend a few quiet hours in the Stadtbibliothek Siegen or the University Library. Browse the shelves, grab a book, and start reading right there in a cozy corner. Perfect for a chill solo afternoon or a productive study session.
7. Lunch with Friends at the Mensa
Even without lectures, meet your friends at the Mensa for a warm, budget‑friendly meal. It’s social, affordable, and a great way to brighten a grey day.
Tip: Always carry your student ID, because you’ll often get discounts (or even free entry) at museums, galleries, and events.
