Based on typical March conditions in Vienna. Weather varies year to year — check the live forecast when you're within two weeks of your trip.
March starts Vienna's thaw, with highs near 50°F and lows around 35°F that still surprise visitors who pack only light spring pieces for Innere Stadt days. Mornings on Graben and Ringstrasse stay cold, and about 10 precip days keep cobbles slick around Stephansdom. Belvedere gardens and Schönbrunn paths begin to open up, but wind on open grounds still favors mid-layers under a polished jacket. Pack pieces that work for museum days and cooler Danube Canal evenings without looking underdressed at restaurants near the Staatsoper.
