Travelling in spring is one of the best ways to discover our country: mild temperatures, pleasant atmospheres and endless choices between Italian cities to visit in two days, cultural destinations, nature and spring mountain escapes.
If you’re wondering where to go in spring in Italy, March and April are ideal months for enjoying a weekend in Italy or a longer holiday.
March holidays allow you to experience cities at a slower pace, while April trips offer longer days and spectacular scenery. Here are some must-see places to visit in Italy!
Milan is an elegant and dynamic city, capable of surprising anyone who chooses to explore it with curiosity. Travelling in spring is the ideal time to discover it: between March and April the city comes alive, days get longer and strolling through its neighbourhoods becomes a real pleasure.
The first day is dedicated to the symbols of Milan. The Duomo, with its imposing presence, is the ideal starting point, and from here you can naturally move on to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Milan's elegant salon, where you can stop for a coffee. Continuing towards Brera, the atmosphere changes: cobbled streets, art galleries and refined bars reveal the more artistic and bohemian side of Milan.
The second day begins with a visit to Castello Sforzesco, one of the city's most important historical sites. Behind it lies Parco Sempione, perfect for a break in the open air between March and April, when the greenery returns to prominence. In the afternoon, we move on to Porta Nuova, Milan's most modern district. Here, among skyscrapers and contemporary squares, you can breathe the international soul of the city.
The third day is ideal for experiencing Milan in a more relaxed way. The Navigli offer one of the most authentic sides of the city, with its canals, shops and historic bars. It is the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely lunch or an aperitif outdoors, especially in spring. Shopping enthusiasts can spend part of the day in the streets of the city centre or the more creative neighbourhoods, letting themselves be guided by the lively atmosphere of the city.
Rome is a city that should be experienced without haste, letting yourself be guided by its history and unique energy. Travelling in spring is the best way to discover it: between March and April, the climate is ideal for long walks and enjoying every corner without the summer heat.
The first day is perfect for getting straight into the soul of the city. Walking between the Colosseum and the Imperial Forums, you feel like you are walking through an open-air history book. Continuing towards the Campidoglio and Piazza Venezia, Rome shows off all its monumental grandeur, offering views that will remain etched in your memory.
The second day can be dedicated to the most elegant and scenic parts of Rome. From the Pantheon to Piazza Navona, each square tells a different story. The Trevi Fountain is a must-see, as is the Piazza di Spagna, where you can stop and watch the comings and goings of the city. In spring, these areas are particularly pleasant to experience, with natural light and mild temperatures.
The third day is ideal for discovering the most authentic Rome. Trastevere welcomes visitors with its cobbled streets, historic shops and typical taverns. It is the perfect neighbourhood to slow down, have a leisurely lunch and end your trip by soaking up the true atmosphere of the city.
Venice in spring has a unique and delicate charm. Between March and April, when days grow longer and morning light reflects on the water, walking through narrow streets and small squares becomes an almost magical experience. The city feels suspended in time, ready to tell its story to those who look beyond masks and bridges.
The first day is dedicated to Venice’s most iconic landmarks. St. Mark’s Square, with its basilica and bell tower, welcomes visitors with all its grandeur. Walking under the arcades and admiring architectural details leaves an unforgettable first impression. Continuing towards the Palazzo Ducale and the Ponte dei Sospiri, Venetian history unfolds through art and mystery.
The second day invites you to discover Venice’s more intimate and artistic side. The Dorsoduro district, with its galleries, small squares and the evocative Zattere along the canal, offers perfect spots for leisurely walks. In spring, the mild climate makes visits to the Gallerie dell’Accademia or small art workshops particularly enjoyable, for a full immersion in Venetian creativity.
The third day is dedicated to the lagoon islands. Murano, with its furnaces and historic glassworks, offers a unique artisanal experience, while Burano surprises with its colourful houses and picturesque canals. Strolling through Burano’s streets, breathing in the spring light and lagoon breeze, is the perfect way to end the visit, enchanted by Venice’s magic.
Padua is a compact, elegant city full of hidden charm. Travelling in spring, between March and April, means discovering its wide squares, elegant arcades and discreet vitality, without the crowds of more touristy destinations.
The first day takes you straight into the city’s cultural heart. The Scrovegni Chapel, with Giotto’s frescoes, is a masterpiece that leaves visitors speechless. Walking through the historic centre, among arcades and quiet squares, you can feel Padua’s soul, where art and history coexist with everyday life.
The second day invites you to discover the city’s iconic landmarks. Prato della Valle, one of Europe’s largest squares, is perfect for a spring walk or a relaxing outdoor break. The Basilica of Saint Anthony, with its imposing structure and spiritual atmosphere, adds an emotional dimension to the visit, making Padua a surprisingly charming destination.
The third day is dedicated to nature and exploring the surroundings. The Euganean Hills, with their picturesque villages and lush landscapes, offer a relaxing alternative to the city. Walking among vineyards and panoramic trails allows you to experience Padua in an authentic way, savouring spring and the slow rhythm of small villages.
Courmayeur is the ideal destination for those who want to experience the mountains in spring in all their facets: breathtaking views, outdoor sports and moments of pure wellbeing. Between March and April, the Alps change their appearance: snow still covers higher slopes, while meadows bloom with the first seasonal flowers. Here, nature and alpine elegance come together for an unforgettable experience.
The first day is perfect for settling in and being captivated by Courmayeur’s charm, let’s have a walk through the historic centre, among alpine boutiques, cafés and local pastry shops. The highlight of the day is the ascent on the Skyway Monte Bianco, the spectacular cable car that takes you up to 3,466 metres. From here, views over snow-capped peaks and Val Veny are simply breathtaking.
In March, Courmayeur still offers the chance to enjoy a true ski holiday. Skiers and snowboarders can glide down perfectly snow-covered slopes, breathing in the crisp alpine air and enjoying spectacular scenery. In April, snow retreats and gives way to walks and mountain trekking, among panoramic trails, forests and flowering meadows.
After days of adventure and walking, the third day is dedicated to relaxation. Our spa is the perfect place to recharge: heated pools, saunas and wellness treatments offer a complete physical and mental recovery experience. It’s the best way to end your stay, combining stunning landscapes with comfort and alpine luxury.
