Why March is Perfect for European Travel (And Why You Need Unlimited Data)

The Shoulder Season Sweet Spot

March sits in that magical window between winter crowds and summer heat. You'll experience:

• Lower prices (20-40% cheaper than peak season)
• Fewer tourists at major attractions
• Better weather (warming up but not scorching)
• Unique events (Fallas, St. Patrick's Day, cherry blossoms, opera season)
• Spring blooms beginning across Europe

But March weather is unpredictable - which is exactly why unlimited data is crucial. Real-time weather checks, last-minute booking changes, indoor alternatives when it rains - all require constant connectivity.

11 Incredible European Experiences in March 2026 (All Covered by Holafly)

1. Witness Northern Lights in Tromsø, Norway 🇳🇴

Why March is special:

• Peak aurora activity around spring equinox
• Still dark enough for viewing (long winter nights)
• Longer days = more daylight activities too
• Less brutal cold than January/February

Why unlimited data is essential in Tromsø:

• Aurora forecast apps (check real-time aurora activity KP index)
• Weather tracking (clouds block northern lights - need constant monitoring)
• Tour coordination (guides adjust pickup times based on conditions)
• Backup plan research (if forecast is bad, find indoor activities)
• Photo uploads (northern lights photos = huge files, 20-50MB each)
• Share live moments (family wants to see aurora in real-time!)

Holafly coverage in Tromsø: ✅ Excellent coverage in Tromsø city
✅ Works on aurora tours outside city
✅ Signal on most fjord routes
✅ Works at Norway's 4G/LTE speeds

Real scenario: Aurora forecast changes hourly. At 6pm forecast shows KP 2 (low). By 9pm it jumps to KP 5 (high). With unlimited data, you see the update, contact your tour guide, and catch the show. Without data, you miss it entirely.

Typical data usage: Aurora hunting night = 2-5GB (forecasts, maps, photo uploads, coordination)

2. Explore Tulip Fields in Netherlands 🇳🇱

Why late March is perfect:

• Keukenhof Gardens opens late March (usually March 20-21)
• First blooms appear (crocus, narcissus, early tulips)
• Significantly fewer crowds than April peak
• Fresh spring atmosphere

Why unlimited data is essential:

• Same-day ticket availability (Keukenhof limits capacity - book morning of)
• Real-time bloom reports (which flowers are blooming today?)
• Navigation (Keukenhof is 45 min from Amsterdam - need exact directions)
• Instagram location research (find best photo spots within gardens)

• Backup activities (if rainy, pivot to Amsterdam museums)

Holafly coverage in Netherlands: ✅ Amsterdam city (excellent 5G)
