What people love about Europe Tours in March
- European Discovery (Summer, Start London, Classic)
Rhi really exceeded my expectations as a tour trip manager. As a solo traveler I was overwhelmed with joining a trip but Rhi’s organisation and positive attitude really helped ease my nerves. I was always prepared with Rhi’s day sheets, even her history talks before a new destination were light fun and entertaining. 10/10 would recommend.
- Semi-Private Balkans Tour; From Athens to Sarajevo or Belgrade
brilliant tour, well organised by Choose Balkans, packed itinerary, very good accommodation and transport, guide was great, good communication by the team at all times. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.
- Small Group Tour: 7 Balkan Countries from Athens to Dubrovnik or Split
We were impressed with the punctuality and organization of our tour guides. You made our trip so much better than it would have been on our own. We really appreciated the tour guide too. They were informative and helpful in every instance.. Thank you
What our customers ask about Europe Tours in March 2026
What are the best destinations to visit in Europe during March?
March presents a sweet spot for European travel with moderate temperatures and fewer tourists. Cities like Rome and Venice allow easier access to attractions such as St. Mark's Basilica and the Colosseum. The Swiss Alps particularly around Interlaken and Lucerne remain prime for winter sports. Paris shows its first signs of spring while Amsterdam prepares for tulip season. A TourRadar traveler noted "March was perfect for exploring cities like Munich and Vienna without the summer crowds while still enjoying snow in the Alps."
Are major tourist attractions less crowded in March compared to peak season?
During March tourist numbers drop significantly at Europe's major sites. Wait times at attractions like the Eiffel Tower Vatican Museums and Colosseum decrease notably. Hotels in prime locations including the Hotel Mercure in Paris and Hotel Artemide in Rome offer better availability and rates. According to a TourRadar traveler: "March was perfect for visiting major sites - we didn't have to wait in long lines and could really enjoy places like the Louvre without the summer crowds."
What unique experiences are available in Europe during March?
March delivers distinct seasonal experiences throughout Europe. Visitors can catch the final ski runs in the Swiss Alps from bases like the Alpenrose Hotel & Gardens or watch Paris's Luxembourg Gardens come to life. Venice's streets and canals open up without summer's usual crush of tourists. The Sargan Eight railroad in Serbia and Budapest's thermal baths gain special appeal during this time. The Rhine Valley's wine regions and Amsterdam's early tulip displays add further options for travelers.
What is the weather like in Europe during March?
European weather patterns vary by region in March. Central Europe typically sees temperatures of 5-12°C (41-54°F) with periodic rain. Vienna averages around 8°C (46°F) while Mediterranean cities like Venice enjoy milder conditions around 12-15°C (54-59°F). A TourRadar traveler noted "Pack layers as the weather can be unpredictable in March especially in cities like Prague and Berlin."
What are the unique events and festivals to experience in Europe during March?
March's cultural calendar features notable events across Europe. Early March visitors might catch Venice's Carnival finale while Paris hosts Art Paris at the Grand Palais. Budapest's Spring Festival fills venues with classical music and Dublin transforms for St. Patrick's Festival. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Experiencing local festivals in March made the cultural experience so much richer - especially in cities like Budapest where we got to enjoy both indoor and outdoor events."
How do hotel prices compare in March versus other months?
Hotel rates in March typically run 20-40% below peak summer prices. Luxury properties like Vienna's Hotel Sacher and Prague's Art Deco Imperial Hotel reduce their rates significantly. A TourRadar traveler shared: "We got an amazing deal at the Alpenrose Hotel in Switzerland for 200 USD per night which would be double in summer months."
