Sunny and affordable destinations in Europe

Almeria, Spain

- Average temperature: +17°C

Southeast Spain is one of the cheapest options for spring warmth in Europe. Almeria is known for its wild beaches, semi-desert landscapes and cinematic landscapes, which have repeatedly become filming locations for famous films and TV series.

In addition to nature, the city attracts with its history: the Moorish fortress of Alcazaba, the 16th century cathedral, ancient water cisterns and unique shelters from the Civil War. March weather is ideal for walks and hikes in the Cabo de Gata Natural Park.

Porto, Portugal

- Average temperature: +16°C

Porto is a great alternative to the more touristy Lisbon. In spring, the city reveals itself in a particularly atmospheric way: blooming magnolias, colorful azulejos, walks along the Douro River and port wine tasting without crowds.

March is the perfect time for walking routes through the old town, leisurely lunches and visiting local markets with ceramics, vintage and gastronomic souvenirs. The city is compact, photogenic and very comfortable for a spring trip.

Catania, Italy (Sicily)

- Average temperature: +18°C

Sunny Catania, located at the foot of Mount Etna, is a great option for a budget trip to Italy. Even if the top of the volcano is still covered in snow, the city delights with warmth, baroque architecture and bright markets.

The comfortable temperature allows you to see the main attractions in a short visit: the cathedrals of Saint Agatha, ancient monasteries, botanical gardens and the famous fish market La Pescheria, which conveys the true character of Sicily.

Crete, Greece

- Average temperature: +16°C

The largest Greek island in March is a combination of history, nature and tranquility. Without the summer heat and crowds, you can comfortably explore archaeological sites, old ports and picturesque villages.

The warmest regions are Chania, Rethymno and Elounda. Among the natural gems are the pink beaches of Elafonisi, Lake Kournas and mountain routes, which are especially green in spring.

Where is it really hot in March?

Maldives

- Average temperature: +31°C

March is one of the best months to relax in the Maldives. The weather is consistently warm, the sea is perfect for snorkeling, and there are fewer tourists than in the peak winter season.

This is a time of calm lagoons, clear water and the opportunity to see marine life without crowds. The temperature has not yet reached its summer highs, so staying on the islands is as comfortable as possible.

Egypt

- Average temperature: +29°C

March is the golden mean for traveling to Egypt: sunny, warm, but not exhaustingly hot. This is the perfect time for excursions in Cairo, visiting the pyramids of Giza and walking through the old souks.

For a beach holiday, Hurghada is perfect - with soft sand, coral reefs and opportunities for diving and snorkeling.

Mexico

- Average temperature: +26°C

March is one of the best months to travel in Mexico. Dry weather, pleasant warmth and the absence of Easter crowds make this period ideal.

Here you can combine the beaches of the Caribbean and Pacific coasts, ancient Mayan ruins, gastronomic discoveries and scenic railway routes, including a trip through the Copper Canyon.

March offers great opportunities for travel – from warm European cities to really hot resorts overseas. Fewer tourists, comfortable weather and good prices make this month ideal for a spring break. When choosing a destination and format of your trip, it is worth taking care of all the organizational details in advance – then the trip will go smoothly, without unnecessary expenses and unpleasant surprises.

March is an ideal month for traveling by car: fewer tourists, mild weather and comfortable routes. But in most European countries, motorways are tolled, and the lack of an electronic vignette can cost from 50 to 300 euros in fines.

On the Visit World portal you can:

- Quickly check where exactly on your route you need a vignette.

- Apply for it online in a few minutes.

- Receive confirmation by e-mail without printing or paper documents

Reminder! In 2026, many countries introduced new requirements for tourists: ETIAS in the EU, ETA in the UK, updated ESTA for the USA and digital arrival cards. We have already told you what will change and how to prepare for travel in advance.
