According to an analysis by the portal Skyscanner, numerous flights from Germany to European cities are affordable in March 2026. The cheapest round trips average under 150 euros and offer a break from Germany's dreary spring weather. Milan and Budapest stand out as particularly budget-friendly destinations.
Skyscanner's analysis for reisereporter reveals that March 2026 offers ideal conditions for affordable city trips. Round trips from German airports start as low as 29 euros, for example from Hamburg to Gdansk in Poland. The top ten destinations include Milan in Italy at an average of 83 euros – from Cologne for 73 euros and from Berlin for 75 euros. After the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, attractions like the Milan Cathedral and Teatro alla Scala are less crowded, as the Paralympics attract fewer visitors.
Budapest in Hungary follows at 93 euros on average, cheapest from Memmingen at 61 euros. The city suits Danube boat tours, though cool winds require a jacket. The Fisherman's Bastion and Citadel are highlights, while the Gellért Bath remains closed until 2028 due to renovations.
Other destinations include Alicante in Spain (110 euros, up to 20 degrees warm, known as the “City of Light”), London in England (114 euros), Dublin in Ireland (127 euros), Porto in Portugal (132 euros, 17 degrees), Barcelona in Spain (134 euros), Valencia in Spain (134 euros, high quality of life), Thessaloniki in Greece (140 euros), and Faro in Portugal (143 euros, six hours of sunshine daily). These flights enable relaxed explorations of sights like Barcelona's Sagrada Família or Thessaloniki's White Tower, without high-season crowds.
The prices are for economy-class round trips and vary by departure airport.
