Holidays in March

The shoulder month that works almost everywhere. Ski is at its best, Europe is waking up, and long-haul is still dry.

March is our pick for ski, and underrated everywhere else

Better snow than January, longer days, and sunshine on the terrace.

Mid-March gives you the best combination of the season — reliable snow at altitude, twelve hours of daylight, and prices well below February half term. Elsewhere, southern Europe is warm enough for cities without being hot, Japan's cherry blossom begins in the last week, and the Gulf is at its final comfortable month before the heat builds. Easter moves each year and can fall in late March, which changes prices sharply.

Making the most of March

Questions people ask

Is this a cheap month to travel?

We'll tell you honestly. School holidays and Easter move prices far more than the season does — send us your dates and we'll show you what a week either side costs.

How reliable are the temperatures shown?

They're typical daytime highs, not guarantees. We'll give you sea temperature as well as air, which is the number that decides whether you swim.

Can you find something outside school holidays?

Yes, and it's usually 30–40% cheaper for identical weather. If your dates have any flexibility at all, tell us and we'll price both.

What if our dates are fixed?

Then book early rather than waiting for a deal. In peak weeks the good rooms go first and prices only climb.
