Visiting Siena in March

# Visiting Siena in March

March straddles winter and spring. Early March is still cold; late March can hit 18°C and feel like summer.

Key facts

• Weather: 5-17°C, increasingly sunny.
• Crowds: still low, building gradually.
• Hotel prices: shoulder-season rates, 20-40% below summer.
• Easter sometimes falls in late March, which spikes prices and crowds for that week.
• Outdoor cafes start reopening their terraces.

What I tell visitors

Mid-late March is a sweet spot: nice weather, light crowds, lower prices. Avoid the Easter week if you can.
