It would be a big mistake to think that the very beginning of spring is not a very good time to spend a vacation abroad. Of course, the most spring holiday falls during this period - March 8, which is associated with a slight increase in prices for tours, but the chance to find an offer that is financially interesting is quite real. If there is no specific route yet, then you have a wide choice of where it is better to go to rest in March: excursions, beach idleness, skiing.
If there is no time to apply for a visa
Very often the journey is overshadowed by the fact that you have to deal with many documentary formalities. Preparing a package of papers for the whole family, submitting an application to the consulate, waiting for an answer - all this costs not only money, but also time, nerves, and worries. To avoid such annoying moments, you should pay attention to the countries that have opened borders for Russians by canceling the receipt of a visa to enter.
Holidays abroad in March without a visa is possible, in particular, in the following states:
- Dominican Republic,
- Thailand,
- Sri Lanka,
- Egypt,
- Turkey,
- Georgia.
And although some of them will still be cool for swimming in the sea (for example, in Turkey), a great time by the pool in the best hotels is guaranteed to you.
By choosing one of the listed areas, you can take advantage of a number of advantages:
- time not wasted on consulates;
- the opportunity to purchase an inexpensive ticket;
- confidence that your vacation in March will take place. And although the decision about whether you will enter the country or not is in any case made at the border, refusals of entry are very rare, especially if you are traveling on a pre-booked tour.
For a complete list of resorts where you can go without going through the consulate, see the article "Visa-free countries".
Beach destinations for every pocket
Most tourists dream, of course, of the warm sun and sandy beaches. Despite the fact that the season is not the warmest, it is possible to organize a seaside vacation without much difficulty and for any budget. Here are some reasons why you need to plan a vacation in warm countries in the first month of spring:
- after a cold winter, the body needs recovery more than ever;
- you can order an affordable tour even in the most expensive hotels;
- there are not so many who want to go sunbathing this month. This promises relative privacy and lack of excitement on the beaches;
- this time of year you have the unique opportunity to choose any climate that suits your state of mind and body.
A short break in business and usual way of life will allow you to "reset" your thoughts, which will make it possible to quite comfortably live up to your summer vacation.
Vietnam and Thailand
The Asian destination will delight guests with a not yet maximum, but quite high temperature, which will approach its peak only in April. While the weather is changing, precipitation cannot be ruled out, although not so abundant.
Thailand will be the most correct decision. The southwest monsoon has not reached its full strength, so you can seize the moment and visit this amazing country. Warm nights await you here in early spring. But do not forget that in the north the thermometer does not rise as high as in the south. In general, get ready for 310C during the day and 15 at night. But the rains are extremely rare.
In Thailand, you will have something to do with yourself:
- surfing,
- diving,
- excursions,
- visiting farms with a wide variety of animals,
- trips to waterfalls,
- beach idleness.
If you can't decide which country is better to relax in March, give preference to Vietnam. Early spring is best spent at these resorts:
- Phu Quoc Island,
- Vung Tau,
- Phan Thiet,
- Nya Chang.
Recall that geographically, Vietnam is stretched out on the world map in different climatic zones and landscape zones. And while some regions freeze in the cold, others languish from the scorching sun. It is spring that is the very time of the year when there is a relative balance.
We fly to Goa
March is also the beginning of the hot season in this part of the planet. The weather here is formed by a subtropical climate. This suggests that there will be very little precipitation, and the air will not warm up to too high a rate.
In addition, there are about 40 beaches at your service. Connoisseurs of quiet rest will be especially pleased. And forget about the fear of poverty and poor service. Goa is not at all like the rest of India. A striking example of this is its southern coast, where the most expensive luxury hotels are concentrated.
But youth holidays in March can be considered successful if organized in the northern part of the state. All budget lovers come here: get ready for open-air parties and the most unforgettable entertainment.
Canary Islands
Beach Spain in early spring is not yet ready to receive tourists eager to bask under its gentle sun. The only exception can be considered only the Canary archipelago, more precisely, the largest and the only island of its kind in Tenerife.
This place is remarkable due to its geographical position, which provides approximately the same temperature of water and air for 12 months. The island is perfect for families. Everyone can find something to do. Be sure to visit Loro Parque and book an excursion to the Teide volcano, which is an island of black sand of volcanic origin.
UAE
If you are planning a beach holiday in the second half of March, then the Emirates will be the best solution. The coldest time at this time is here only in Fujairah, washed by the waters of the Indian Ocean. But even in this part of the country the air is already warming up to 24-260C during the day, cooling down to 21-23 ° C at night.
The hottest will be in Dubai with an indicator of + 30 ° C. This is especially important for those who go on vacation with children. A wide variety of dolphinariums, zoos and water parks await them here. If we talk about finances, then this part of the country will be the most expensive. But in Sharjah the prices will please.
In addition to the listed territories, for a beach pastime, you can choose:
- Mexico,
- Caribs;
- Cuba,
- Indonesia - Bali, Sumatra,
- Sri Lanka,
- Maldives,
- Seychelles,
- Singapore.
We select a ski resort
If you still want to have time to go skiing, then you need to hurry, because in March this type of recreation is already declining. The best place will be Andorra. Local slopes are ready to welcome skiers for a long time. Even those planning a trip at the end of March will be able to enjoy a lot of snow and a wide variety of slopes, which, by the way, are marked with different colors depending on the difficulty.
Even the smallest tourists will be able to get their first ski experience. A large number of schools have been organized here for them, where they will teach how to overcome snow obstacles. Spain is just 4 hours away. Therefore, do not neglect the excursion to Barcelona.
Other countries that still have snow at this time of year include:
- Switzerland,
- Italy,
- Bulgaria,
- France,
- Austria.
Excursions
The best place to go on an excursion at the junction of two seasons is Europe. Lovers of bus tours will be able to enjoy leisurely walks in comfortable weather conditions. As directions, you can suggest:
- Italy,
- Spain,
- Greece,
- Portugal.
It is here that you will find numerous medieval castles, palaces and places of worship from different eras and religions. Stop for a couple of days in Madrid - the heart of European cultural life - with its amazing museums and galleries.Spend a few more days in Athens, where about 50 museum complexes and ancient temples are located.
The Czech Republic would be an excellent solution. The air here warms up to +10 0С at this time of the year. This means that there is simply no better time to explore the Gothic castles.
Do not exclude from the list Istanbul - the Turkish capital, located at the junction of the European and Asian parts of the continent.
It may be a big discovery for some that Sri Lanka and India will be the places where fans of excursion routes can rest comfortably. And the United Arab Emirates is considered an excellent destination for successful and inexpensive shopping this month. Do not forget that booking a hotel in this case must be foreseen in advance, since the demand for Dubai at this period is very high.
But for those who like to visit festivals and holidays, the following directions are suitable:
- Great Britain - Pancake Race;
- Bali - New Years celebration;
- Malta - gourmet festival;
- Japan is a holiday for Japanese girls.
Without leaving Russia
Limited funds or the complexity of traveling with kids should not become an obstacle on the way to the coveted vacation. In this case, you just need to find a good place in your homeland. In March in Russia you can also spend quite a good vacation. Alternatively, go to Sochi. Swimming in the sea is not yet available, but comfortable wellness complexes await you here. Isn't that what we need at the end of winter?
For excursions, St. Petersburg is suitable. Having a car, you can go on a short trip along the Golden Ring. This will allow you not to depend on the schedule and stop where you want to stay.
A trip to the northern part of our state promises to be very impressive. In Arkhangelsk at this time, ecotours to the settlements of reindeer herders are very popular. An alternative could be Karelia or Baikal.
Traveling with children
Organization of recreation with the smallest family members will depend on two factors:
- what exactly do you want to offer your children;
- what is their age.
For the purpose of health improvement, a vacation with children in March can be planned in one of the states listed above. But do not forget about the length of the flight: if the child is too young, exclude other continents and overseas countries from the list. It will not please you or the children.
An excellent option would be the Canary Islands with their always stable weather and the absence of intense heat, or the hospitable Emirates.
But children of school age can be invited to visit France. The air here is already warming up to 15 degrees above zero, which will allow you to see all the sights. And the culmination of the vacation will, of course, be a visit to Disneyland.
When choosing a place where to fly to rest in March with a small child, take into account his interests. So that it does not happen that you have organized a vacation for yourself, and not for him.
Outcomes
When planning your trip in March, first answer a few questions:
- how many people hit the road;
- how old each of them is;
- what is your budget;
- how do you want to spend time on vacation.
If you miss the sun and the sea, Bali, Dominican Republic, UAE and Thailand are perfect. On excursions this season, it is better to go to Europe. There you will also find the best ski resorts that are already starting to cut prices in mind. But vacation at home can be spent in Sochi, or seeing the sights of St. Petersburg.
