March in Naples is the start of shoulder season. 10–16°C, occasional rain, increasing sun. Hotels €60–100/night.
Plan this trip →Crowds are minimal. All museums and sites open. Pompeii without the summer heat (€18, comfortable walking). Museo Archeologico without queues. The Procida and Capri ferries start increasing frequency. Easter (if in March): processions in the Quartieri Spagnoli, pastiera napoletana (Easter cake) in every pasticceria.
Carciofi (artichokes) arrive. Friarielli (broccoli rabe) still in season — last chance for sausage+friarielli pizza. Blood oranges from Sicily at the markets. Sfogliatelle year-round, obviously.
Low-to-shoulder. Hotels €60–100. Flights from €30–60. Dinner €12–18. Excellent value month.
