Marching up to March 2020: Here’s What Rome Has in Store!

March is the month of spring and joy and what better way to celebrate it than spend a holiday in Rome. The Eternal City has a lot to offer, a treasure trove of architecture, museums, history and delicacies. For those who are there strictly for a pilgrimage, you should be searching for the best Vatican city tours.

However, if you are looking for a variety of things to do in Rome, here is a humble guide to touring the city during one of the best months of the year. March bids the harsh winter adieu and welcomes spring in earnest. It is a month with fewer tourists in the Eternal City and thus a favorable one for those looking to tour Rome on a budget. The weather is at its most unpredictable with lots of sun and, usually, a week or so of heavy rain downpours.

Conquer a Concert

There are several concerts and performances lined up throughout the year in Rome and March is no exception. Do check out one of the many concerts playing in the heart of Rome. The Auditorium Parco della Musica is a great place to check out for its varied line up of programmes.

Sit at a Sporting Event

With spring around the corner, March is the perfect month to stroll or ride bicycles through the Appian road, one of Rome’s oldest and most charming boulevards to see. This off-beat activity is a perfect family outing for a sunny day and an often much needed break from the city center.
