Yes, it\u2019s the shoulder season, which means fewer crowds and better deals on flights, accommodation and tours. It means you can wander popular cities like Paris or Rome without the pressing crowds of summer or late spring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather is, of course, a concern. Depending on which European destination you visit, you can expect a mix of crisp, sunny days in the south and lingering snow in the north. Yes, you could be in a t-shirt and shorts enjoying a sunny lunch at the beach in southern Spain, or off skiing in early spring snow in the Alps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>March is also packed with festivals and festivities. There\u2019s St. Patrick\u2019s Day in Ireland, and its tulip season in the Netherlands. Plus this year carnival will fall in March, an event celebrated across the continent in many weird and wacky ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/01\/Medium-Spain-Seville-Exploring-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Four guests exploring in Seville, stood looking over the buildings and landscapes.
