March stays cold, but daylight returns fast, going from roughly 10 to 13 hours over the month, which makes the city feel noticeably different by the end of it.

Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
