March 2026 is the ultimate "bridge" month. In the northern hemisphere, the last bite of winter is fading into the first blush of spring, while the southern hemisphere is enjoying the golden tail-end of summer.
Whether you’re looking to pelt strangers with neon powder in India or catch the very first cherry blossoms in Tokyo, here are the 10 best places to travel this March.
The March Edit: 10 Best Places to Travel in 2026
1. Jaipur, India
March in the "Pink City" is legendary for one reason: Holi. On March 4, 2026, the city will explode into a kaleidoscope of colored powder and water to celebrate the arrival of spring.
-
The Vibe: High-energy, spiritual, and utterly unforgettable.
-
Pro Tip: Head to the Hawa Mahal early in the morning to see the sunlight hit the honeycomb facade before the festivities begin.
2. Tokyo, Japan
The "Sakura" watch officially begins in late March. In 2026, Tokyo’s cherry blossoms are forecasted to start blooming around March 21. It’s the perfect time to experience Hanami (flower viewing) without the absolute peak crowds of early April.

3. Dublin, Ireland
You haven't seen a party until you've seen Dublin on St. Patrick’s Day (March 17). The city turns into a sea of green with a multi-day festival featuring parades, traditional music "trad sessions," and plenty of stout.
-
The Vibe: Joyful, rowdy, and deeply cultural.
4. Marrakech, Morocco
March is the "Goldilocks" month for Morocco—not too hot for the Sahara, not too cold for the Atlas Mountains. Wander through the Jardin Majorelle or get lost in the spice-scented souks of the Medina under a perfect 23°C sun.
5. Zermatt, Switzerland
For those not ready to give up winter, March offers the best "Bluebird" skiing days. The sun is out, the days are longer, and the snowpack is at its deepest. Plus, the view of the Matterhorn is never crisper than in the spring air.

6. Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
Before the humidity of summer hits, March offers perfect beach weather in Tulum and Playa del Carmen. It’s also the spring equinox, where you can witness the famous "descending serpent" light effect at the Chichen Itza ruins.
7. Queenstown, New Zealand
While the north warms up, New Zealand enters a stunning autumn. The crowds of the summer holidays have left, leaving behind mirror-flat lakes and the first hint of gold in the trees. It’s the ideal time for bungee jumping or wine tasting in Central Otago.
8. Seoul, South Korea
Like Japan, Seoul begins its transformation in late March. The plum blossoms and forsythias lead the way for the cherry blossoms. It’s a great time to explore the Gyeongbokgung Palace in a traditional Hanbok without shivering.

9. Seville, Spain
Experience the scent of orange blossoms (azahar) filling the streets. March is mild and perfect for exploring the Alcázar or watching an outdoor Flamenco performance before the scorching Andalusian summer arrives.
10. Borneo, Malaysia
March marks the start of the dry season in many parts of Borneo. This is the best window for spotting orangutans in the wild or trekking through the ancient rainforests of Danum Valley with minimal rainfall.
