What to do in Venice in March
Given everything we’ve said about March meaning fewer crowds, this is an ideal month to really discover the galleries, museums and attractions that draw the biggest numbers.
While we still suggest pre-booking skip-the-line tickets for the likes of St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace, you can truly take advantage of having more space. With that in mind, read on to discover more recommended things to do in Venice in March.
Take a walking tour
March is a top time to take a guided walking tour of the city. First up, you won’t struggle to book your preferred route and theme. Secondly, your tour is less likely to be over-subscribed — all the better for making the most of your guide’s knowledge.
You could opt for a food-themed tour, or an experience focussed on art or history. Either way, it’s likely to be more pleasurable than trying to navigate the city’s streets (and hear your guide) in the peak summer.
Visit Venice’s islands
While Venice’s awe-inspiring islands won’t be bathed in the dazzling sun of later months, March is a pretty great time to visit them. Take your pick from San Michele, Murano, Burano and Torcello. Better still, if you have time, take an island-hopping excursion.
Enjoy Easter
When Easter falls in March you’ll get to witness city-wide (mostly religious) events from Maundy Thursday. Come Friday, you’ll see processions through the streets.
