If you’re reading this, you’ve probably scoured the internet trying to decide on the best places to travel in March. It’s that pesky month between winter and spring that can make it surprisingly hot or unseasonably cold when you flip the switch. I always get lost when I leave the house. Is the weather getting better or is it time to switch to sandals?
Escape the indecisive climate and go somewhere moderately hot. Or properly cold. Airports and train stations tend to focus on the infamous Spring Break this month, but there’s a lot more to traveling in March than drinking margaritas with a bunch of Gen Zers (sorry, Gen Z). As spring approaches in the Northern Hemisphere, some destinations emerge from hibernation and begin to bloom. Busy spots in South America and Asia, on the other hand, happily lack the humidity (and crowds) you might experience during the busy summer months (did someone say shoulder season?).
Whether you’re looking to warm up with a tropical beach vacation or cap off the last days of winter with a ski trip, this is the perfect month to do it. From Big Sky, Montana to the Okavango Delta in Botswana, here are nine of the best places to travel in March.
