The best time to visit the Cabañas Cultural Institute is first thing in the morning, right when it opens, or during the last hour of the afternoon, to avoid the crowds. As for the best season, the milder months such as autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May) are ideal, although Guadalajara enjoys good weather for most of the year.
