Top 10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Guadalajara, Guadalajara Metropolitan Area
The inland city of Guadalajara is bursting with history and culture. Many attractions are in the city's historic center and in the neighboring city of Zapopan. Museums, parks and churches flourish alongside bullfights, rodeos and soccer (futbol). Nearby are the towns of Tequila, where the liquor of the same name is produced, and Tlaquepaque and Tonala, where artisans create an abundance of Mexican handicrafts. Mariachi, which originated in the area, is a common sight and sound in Guadalajara.

Beautiful neo-gothic cathedral. Reputably the best example in Mexico. It’s a pleasant walk from the cathedral Guadalajara. Lovely square in front. Even though it says closed on Saturday, it was open to look in.

Reviewed By teddy1014 - Brooklyn, United States
They have everything here: from small souvenirs to large home furnishing, tchotchkes to rare artisan items, things under $2 to over $500. Textiles, pottery, silver work, wood carving...the place is deceptively large, and every room contains a completely different kind of artisan items. I don't enjoy shopping but this place is amazing.

7. Instituto Cultural Cabanas
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,511 reviews
Once an orphanage, this building now serves as a gallery of the famous murals of Jose Clemente Orozco.
Reviewed By Beachmom206 - Ajijic, Mexico
Every time we visit Guadalajara, which is often because we live at Lake Chapala, we are never disappointed - the Orozco murals alone are worth the visit! There are always a number of different art exhibits going on, as the Cabanas is a large space with many side rooms and little patios, so exploring is always interesting.
8. Teatro Degollado
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,460 reviews
Opened in 1886, this large neo-Classical building is home to the city's opera and orchestra.
Reviewed By devola1 - Chicago, United States
I’m staying near the Teatro Degollado and I walked past it a few times. This morning was quiet and cool and I stopped at the small cafe for breakfast. The server was very nice and polite, considering my terribly limited Spanish. The food was delicious. I recommend the chilaquiles rojo with an iced coffee. Sitting beside the old and beautiful architecture, feeling the breeze, watching couples and families and performers film and take pictures (it’s a very photogenic plaza and a lot of ppl were taking advantage of that) was a great way to start my day.

This 18th-century government building, which served as the headquarters of the Juarez administration in 1858, contains a number of the famous murals by Jose Clemente Orozco.
Reviewed By LAJFJ2 - Los Angeles, United States
When we were being taken on a tour of the city, we stopped in this building to see some murals. While going up a staircase a mural will meet you face to face. Was very powerful and moving. I recommend that you hire a local tour guide to introduce you to the beautiful murals of this city.
