Kotor in March — Full Picture
March in Kotor is the start of spring and a quiet, good-value window before the season ramps up. It averages 15°C/7°C with brightening days, though the bay's signature rain is still about.
The town wakes up: more sunshine, café terraces fill on warm afternoons, and from late March boat trips and seasonal restaurants begin reopening as the season approaches. It's an excellent month for the Old Town, the cathedral, and the walls climb without crowds, and prices are still low.
The sea remains too cold to swim (around 14-15°C), so this is sightseeing rather than beach time. Weather is changeable — sunny one day, showery the next — so pack layers and a waterproof.
If Easter falls in late March, expect a short bump in visitors. Overall, March suits travelers who want spring light, low prices, and an uncrowded medieval town, and don't mind the chance of rain.
What to Wear & What to Pack
Early spring — around 15°C/7°C, warming and a touch brighter, but still wet. Layers: a light jacket and sweater, plus a waterproof and umbrella for spring rain. The sea is still too cold to swim.
