EUROPE: what to wear in March
I am going to Europe March 5-20 (Belgium, Switzerland, France). For those who are going to Europe this time of the year, what type of coat are you taking: rain coat or a warm winter coat.
It may be a silly question, but I am not sure what to take. It looks like it rains a lot this time of the year but it can also be freezing cold. After checking the weather, it is averaging 35-40 F and rain...
Please share...

Thank you for the follow-up.
I dont quite know how much time I will end up spending outsie. This is my first trip, and I would like to see as much as possible. Since Europe is less easily traveled by car, I would think I would have to do a lot of walking and taking trains...
So layers it is

I don;t know why you think europe is les easily traveled by car - doing it by car is perfectly simple - there are good roads everywhere. You may prefer another option - but they do have a complete road system and dozens of companies renting cars.
Also - you don;t mention why you're going to Switzerland - since March is still skiing season - obviously if you're going into the mountains you'll need winter clothing. If you're sticking to the lowlands and the cities - layering may be enough.

I was in Paris and Rome about mid to late March last year. The first day it rained and was cold and the rest of the trip was sunny warm and I never wore my raincoat again. Layers is the way to go for sure.
