The South Coast of Tenerife or 'Tenerife South' sees relatively warm weather all year round and is ideal for some off-peak season Sun. However the North Coast and Central Mountains of Tenerife experience considerably wetter and cooler weather conditions at this time of year.
Southern Tenerife resorts such as Playa de Las Americas and Los Gigantes see temperatures creeping up into the 20s during March with average daily maximums reaching However cool winds and light breezes can make the temperature feel considerably cooler.
The likelihood of rainfall occurring in southern Tenerife during March remains relatively low but across the rest of the island is considerably higher. This causes the total average rainfall across the whole of Tenerife in March to increase to 34 mm.
One of the Canary Islands sitting off the coast of Africa, Fuerteventura is pleasant throughout the year and is often referred to as the island of eternal spring. Springtime in Fuerteventura is generally sunny and dry. The island's positioning means that it is sheltered from various weather conditions by Lanzarote, and as a consequence the island receives less annual rain than its neighbouring islands.
March proves to be no exception, with an average of 10 mm falling across the month in short bursts. The sun shines for 7 hours daily whilst temperatures continue to rise as the month progresses. The average daily maximum temperature for March is March was previously considered an off-season month; however it now is visited by a number of tourists despite being very early in the summer season. Hot winds blowing from the Sahara desert ensure that cloud cover is minimal making days warm and sunny.
The Cape Verde Islands consist of a group of ten main islands and a number of smaller islets situated off the west coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. Morocco is a short easy flight with direct routes from across the UK. Marrakech is the most popular destination — for good reasons — but to get a little off the beaten track, I recommend spending a few days in Taroudant or Essaouira and perhaps some hiking in the Atlas Mountains.
Also consider : most of the Mediterranean is a bit wintry in March, but you will often find warm sunshine in Cyprus which is a long way south. The Indian state of Goa offers sensational white sand beaches, sunsets, fresh seafood and a chilled vibe. See the full range of beachfront hotels and the latest offers. Also consider : the Philippines for island hopping, nature tours, adventures, beaches and snorkelling.
Arguably the best way to combine these is on a two-week self drive tour. The weakness of the Rand also means South Africa is cheap right now. Also consider : six hours flying time — and no jet lag — gets you to The Gambia on the West coast of Africa, a great-value destination for magnificent beaches, friendly hotels and plenty of fascinating sights.
A lot of destinations style themselves as a tropical paradise, but the Seychelles is the real deal. It's certainly our pick of the best with the warmest, sunniest weather in March, all within an easy flight of the UK. If you're happy to travel a little further to find great weather, turn your attention to the southeastern coast of the USA , and the Caribbean. It's no coincidence that Florida is known as the Sunshine State, and March is a great time to find out why.
At this time, Florida is even sunnier than its neighbouring region, the Caribbean, if a few degrees cooler than some islands. March is also a top time to hit the theme parks of Orlando , where you can make the most of the sunshine without the unbearable heat and extreme queues of summer. Turning southeast, sandwiched between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, the Bahamas has very similar weather at this time.
The Dominican Republic really stands out, as the weather in March here is quite exceptional. Just be prepared for a little heat and humidity, and high UV. Although the weather may be idyllic in the Caribbean, it's also spring break in the US during this time, which sees popular destinations flooded with party people.
These holiday favourites will become more prevalent from March onwards until the end of May when it really becomes too hot for most, and the sun too ferocious. However, with eight hours of sunshine and only moderate heat and humidity, March is a tempting time to experience this hive of beaches and activities in the Middle East before the increase in visitors and heat of coming months. It's fair to say that some of the world's most wonderful beach weather in March can be found in the northern part of the Indian Ocean.
As for shoes, you will need sandals and sneakers, something that is comfortable and suitable for long walks. Sometimes it will be a short-term downpour; at times, it will be fine and drizzling long-lasting rain.
However, March is a great time to travel to Lisbon! Although March is not the best month for the beach season, it would be completely unfair to come to Portugal and not visit the most picturesque places on the coast.
On the Portuguese Riviera tour, you will see the endless beaches of the Atlantic, favorite places of surfers from all over Europe, visit the magical Devil's mouth and the romantic port town of Cascais.
In March, Lisbon is not overloaded with tourists, and prices for hotels, excursions, and flights are much lower. You can enjoy pleasant spring weather and mild sunshine. Lisbon usually hosts many exciting events in March.
One of the most important events is the famous Lisbon Half Marathon. In early March, in the small town of Torres Vedras, just 50 km from Lisbon, Portugal's oldest and most spectacular carnival takes place. These days the city is immersed in unrestrained fun, you can meet mummers everywhere. Anyone can take part. Start your acquaintance with the city with a sightseeing tour. On the Walking Tour, you will walk through the old picturesque districts of Alfama and Baixa, ride on the secret elevator, and find out where Lisbonians go for dinner and perform the traditional fado dance.
You can not only see Lisbon but also taste it. It is exactly what you will do on an exciting four-hour food tour. Together with an experienced guide, you will climb to the observation decks offering gorgeous views of Lisbon, the Christa Rei statue, and the 25 April bridge and taste local wines, sweets and snacks. Read this blog post about unique things to do in Lisbon. As the locals say, the optimal clothing for this period is a down jacket and a T-shirt.
Also, don't forget a waterproof jacket with a warm lining or a coat, sweaters, hoodies, warm pajamas and warm socks, a scarf, comfortable shoes, an umbrella, a raincoat, and sunglasses. The weather in March in Sardinia is comfortable: it's neither too hot nor too cold. However, you can stay at a hotel with a heated pool and enjoy open-air swimming and sunshine.
There are several reasons to come to Sardinia in March:. On the streets, there are no noisy crowds of tourists and no queues for attractions. March is the perfect time for travelers looking for a secluded holiday. In March, Sardinia hosts the Artichoke Festival, which locals and tourists attend. At the festival, you can taste artichokes and a variety of Italian dishes with artichokes and attend sports and cultural events.
I recommend starting your visit to the island from its capital, Cagliari. It is a charming city with a magical atmosphere, colorful houses, gorgeous beaches, and many attractions.
Read this blog post to learn about the best things to do in Cagliari. After visiting the capital, take a tour of the island. It is perhaps the most famous corner of the island, known for its beaches and chic resorts. Then head to Alghero, a land of beautiful Catalan architecture and Mediterranean atmosphere. If you want to see the real Sardinia, visit the wild and remote region of Central Sardinia, with its breathtaking landscapes, valleys, gorges, canyons, forests, and high mountain peaks.
Here you will find village Sardinians living the same life as their ancestors lived a hundred years ago. For your March holidays in Sardinia, bring different clothes for different times of the day: T-shirts for the day and jackets for the evening.
Don't forget comfortable shoes and sunglasses. Valletta is a charming city in Malta that is also one of the best honeymoon destinations in Europe. March is the first month of the year the warm Mediterranean waters and air reach Valletta, Malta's capital city. While the previous month of February typically brings a ton of rain and little sun to the area, Valletta welcomes gorgeous clear skies throughout March.
Valletta is a warm destination to visit for both travelers looking for the sunniest European destinations and those visiting Malta's capital on European cruises. Valletta's weather during March is highly influenced by the Mediterranean interior climate. Because of this dependency, the weather can be unpredictable. However, you can typically expect most March days to be sunny with occasional rainstorms during your stay in Valletta.
Valletta owes much of its successful military history to its strategic and scenic location along this massive harbor. On March 31, the entire Valletta celebrates Freedom Day - a public holiday in Malta, which marks one of the most important dates in the country's modern history.
In , the final withdrawal of British troops and navy from the island state's territory took place. You can observe an impressive military parade in Malta on Freedom Day. It runs from the fort in Cospicua to the monument in honor of the "departure" of the British military from the island. After the parade, top Maltese officials and foreign ambassadors solemn lay of wreaths at the monument. The main entertainment event of the day is a large regatta starting in Valletta's Grand Harbor.
Dozens of traditional Maltese Luzzu boats and Venetian gondolas float against the backdrop of the picturesque Fort of Valletta. It's a fantastic water show you should not miss. Located on one of Europe's mightiest harbors, Valletta sits surrounded by some of the strongest fortifications in the world.
While there are tons of things to do in Valletta, it's also worth visiting other parts of the country. While Valletta boasts gorgeous weather in March, it is best to arrive prepared for any unpredictable weather by dressing in layers.
Make sure to pack your favorite bathing suit, flip flops, and shorts, but also pack a light jacket, pants, and an umbrella just in case. With long days and mild weather, spring is the perfect time to plan a trip to someplace new in Europe. In particular, crowd-free March is the ideal month to immerse in local cultures and get to know the authentic side of a place and its people.
Thanks to its sunny and warm weather, Southern Greece is an amazing destination to explore in March. In March, this beauty is all the more enhanced by nature's vivid green colours. Moreover, March in Monemvasia is generally warm enough to sunbathe on the dramatic black rocks surrounding the fortified town. Most of the times, and especially towards the end of the month, a dip in the crystal clear waters is also an option. Monemvasia Castle is a fortified town built on a tiny islet connected to the mainland by a single bridge.
It's a site of unique charm that seems to have been lost in time with its traditional architecture, cobbled alleys and total absence of vehicles within the castle's walls. In March, when visitors are few, you can mingle with locals and listen to their captivating stories. Last but not least, there are also some other incredible places to visit near Monemvasia, such as Kastania Cave and Elafonisos Island.
If visiting Monemvasia in March, make sure you stay for the grand celebrations taking place on the 25th of March. On this day, Greece celebrates the beginning of the nation's fight for independence from the Ottomans back in and the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary. Although unlikely, March weather in Monemvasia can be unpredictable. Therefore, make sure you dress in layers and carry a light waterproof jacket with you at all times.
But, fear not. Monemvasia Castle is a sight for sore eyes even in the rain. An amazing city to visit in March in Europe is Monaco. It's one of the wealthiest places on earth and it's bordered by France. You can find Monaco on the French Riviera, so combining a trip to Monaco and places such as Menton and Nice is a great thing to do. The weather in March in Monaco is good. There are great beaches in Monaco, but it may be a bit too cold for swimming and sunbathing in March. There are many reasons why visiting Monaco is great.
One of these reasons is that Monaco looks incredible! The views in the city are just stunning. As it looks so beautiful, there are many amazing photo spots in Monaco. One of the best things to do in Monaco is going to the Monte Carlo Casino. This is a place where you can gamble, but there's also a lot of other entertainment.
A fun thing to know is that everyone can gamble in the casino, except for the citizens of Monaco. For them, it's forbidden to even enter the gaming rooms. Furthermore, there are nice museums in Monaco. One of the best museums is the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco. This is a museum of marine sciences. Here, you can see species of sea fauna, such as sharks, seahorses and turtles.
But there are also other interesting objects, like model ships. Stromboli Island is one of the most out-of-the-world place in Europe. This fascinating Aeolian island is located off the coast of Sicily in Italy. Stromboli itself is not an ordinary island. Stromboli has been erupting constantly for nearly 2, years. The last major explosion occurred on 3 July without any preliminary warning. This particular eruption generated a 5 km long ash column above the island.
The most popular activity on Stromboli is the sunset trek. Generally, you will see a couple of short and energetic bursts every 20 - 30 minutes.
They are a maximum of a few hundred meters high and contain ash, incandescent lava fragments, and stones. However, since the last big eruption, one can only hike up to meters above sea level. But to go all the way up to meters, you will need to join a guided tour.
The second most popular activity is spending time on its black sandy beaches of the volcano. Definitely not to be missed. Malta is an island nation in the southern Mediterranean and is composed of three islands — Malta, Gozo and Comino. The main island of Malta has the capital Valetta as well as a number of other small towns.
Gozo is a beautiful, lesser-known destination in Malta and is one of the best hidden gems in Europe. Gozo is reached by ferry that runs regularly and is perfect for exploring as it is much smaller and quieter with secluded beaches and coves. Gozo has so many things to do that beaches and sunbathing is secondary. It is cool in March and there are only a few sandy beaches. Many are just rocky edges to the water.
Traditionally the week before Ash Wednesday is carnival week on Gozo although this can tip into March. There will be masked balls, marching bands and a general carnival atmosphere. The 31st March is a national holiday for Freedom Day. Events take place at the War memorial in Floriana and a boat regatta can be seen in the Grand Harbour in Valetta.
Gozo, like Malta has a long history and the main town of the island, Rabat also known as Victoria is visible from all over the island. It rises steeply from the surrounding landscape and is has the fortified Citadel at the heart of the town. This fortified building has provided refuge and defence to the city for hundreds of years.
In the same village of Xaghra is a windmill and some grottos that are entered through the homes above them. Beyond the towns, the coast is wild and rugged with beautiful coves and rocky beaches with sea stacks and arches. Given the temperatures layers are best for travel to Gozo in March. It can be cool in the evenings so a long-sleeved warmer top will make for pleasant evening walks.
While peak visiting season is usually between April and October, shoulder season and March specifically are a fantastic time to plan a visit to Sicily. On warmer days, you can sunbathe on the beach, but it may be a bit too chilly for a full-blown swim in the sea. Though, you can certainly dip your toes in or maybe even wade a bit!
