What people love about Europe Tours in March
- Genuine Europe (40 destinations)
We had a good experience overall and it was excellent for the first part of the tour. When we left Switzerland they changed the tour guide and bus driver and we experienced inconveniences such as the bus been 1 hour late one morning, then missed another 2 hours because of a ticket and had to carry around some of our luggage at one point. Dirty hotel in Paris which they didn’t care to clean even after complaining. No AC in some hotels. Nevertheless we really enjoyed our trip. We had very good tour guides and the tour takes you to wonderful places full of history and beauty. The activities in Grindelwald are a must full of excitement and fun.
- Albania, Greece, Macedonia and Kosovo Highlights
We’d seen photos of Meteora, but standing there at sunset? Different level. Our days started around 8:30 and the guide gave a quick “what to wear/bring” heads-up the night before (very helpful for Meteora’s dress code). Hotels were mostly central, Ohrid was two minutes from the lake, Prizren had mountain views. Loved the ferry on Koman Lake and coffee with locals in Berat. One long border day, but the driver kept breaks sane.
- Sofia to Bucharest Grand Discovery Tour - Small Group Tour
Everything was top-notch, from the knowledgeable guide to the well-planned itinerary. Thank you for a fantastic experience!
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."
