Gotland in March
Good time to visit
March teases spring without delivering it. You'll have historic sites largely to yourself, but weather remains unpredictable and many seasonal attractions stay closed.
Weather
March brings the first hints of spring, though don't get too excited. Temperatures climb into single digits, but fierce Baltic winds keep things feeling frigid. Rain dominates over snow, turning dirt roads muddy.

All Months
April through June brings wildflowers, mild temperatures around 22°C, and empty beaches. The sea reaches 20°C by May — cold but swimmable. September and October offer the sweet spot with 25°C weather, warm seas at 23°C, and harvest season bringing fresh figs to market stalls.
July and August mean 30°C heat, crowded ferries, and hotel prices doubling. But the festa season lights up villages with fireworks and street food every weekend. December through March sees temperatures drop to 15°C with frequent rain, though accommodation costs half the summer rates. Many restaurants close from January to March, leaving limited dining options.
