The best places to travel in March can be found all over the world, but are generally a mixed bag of warm weather destinations and summer hotspots that have yet to reach the peak tourism levels of the summer season. If you are looking to get away to the Mediterranean without the buzz of tourist crowds and don’t mind a bit of cooler – albeit still warm – weather, this is your chance! The Galápagos Islands, Mallorca, India’s Western Ghats, and Türkiye’s Aegean Coast are all at the top of the list when it comes to the best places to travel in March!
March is a lovely time of year to set out on an adventure in many destinations around the globe, but particularly in the Northern Hemisphere as the cold of winter begins to fade away and the spring season begins to blossom. That isn’t to say that the autumn season of the Southern Hemisphere is a travel dud (far from it!), but there is just something about the new beginnings of spring that makes travel feel especially vibrant and exciting.
Whether you want to explore diverse ecosystems, trek through vast deserts, or spend time in the relaxing seaside setting of the Mediterranean - we’re hoping that the destinations below will be appealing if you are looking to travel this spring. Here is our list of some of the best places to travel in March.
The Best Places to Travel in March Ranked
Galápagos Islands, Ecuador
#1 in Best Places to Travel in March
March in the Galápagos is a bit of a contradictory experience, as it is the warmest month of the year but also the wettest. We think it’s a fair trade-off, as it also offers some of the best opportunities for wildlife viewing and some of the best surfing conditions! If you are looking to experience the Galápagos in all their glory (and don’t mind a bit of rain) then March is a great time to visit!

March is a great time to visit the mountainous Western Ghats region of India, as you will be avoiding the wet monsoon season.
