Where to go in March?

Kyoto, Japan

March is cherry blossom month in Japan, and Kyoto offers one of the most breathtaking displays of this iconic bloom. The city’s famous temples and gardens are adorned in shades of pink and white, creating a magical, enchanting atmosphere. Be sure to visit Maruyama Park for an unforgettable hanami (cherry blossom viewing) experience.

Barcelona, Spain

Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

March is an excellent time to visit the Galapagos Islands, as the rainy season ends and the local wildlife is particularly active. Explore the islands by snorkeling or scuba diving to discover the incredible wealth of marine life, including giant tortoises, sea lions, and sharks. It’s also the breeding season for many species, offering unique nature-watching opportunities.

Lisbon, Portugal

With its picturesque cobbled streets, steep hills and bohemian ambience, Lisbon is a charming destination to visit in March. Take advantage of pleasant temperatures to explore historic districts such as Alfama and Mouraria, sample Portuguese specialties in local taverns, and admire panoramic views from the city’s miradouros (viewpoints).

Zanzibar, Tanzania

If you’re looking for white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters and a tropical atmosphere, Zanzibar is the perfect destination in March. Temperatures are warm but not sweltering, making it the perfect time to relax on the island’s beaches, snorkel or sail, and explore Stone Town’s bustling markets for local crafts and exotic spices.

Patagonia, Argentina/Chile

For lovers of adventure and spectacular scenery, March is the ideal time to explore Patagonia. Temperatures are starting to warm up, but the region remains unspoilt and less frequented by tourists. Go hiking in the Torres del Paine National Park in Chilean Patagonia or visit the Perito Moreno glacier in Argentina for an unforgettable experience in the heart of the wilderness.
