Yes. March in Zagreb is Calm on the typical day, and not one of the 31 days in our window is crowded enough to call Busy. Expect around 13 °C by day, with rain on about 7 days. The crowd comes with the school holidays in Germany and Austria. Mid March is the month's quietest stretch in Zagreb — the typical day at 18%, against 23% in late March. The crush is at Tkalciceva's terraces at spica; the quiet is at the Green Horseshoe. The calmest day is Saturday 13 March, the busiest Monday 29 March.
In short, a genuinely good window to pick.

The upside of a quiet March

- This is a wing-it month: nothing needs locking in.
- Photograph the landmarks empty — the shot everyone else queues for.
No queues to skip, and nothing to book ahead — that's the whole point.

Mild — around 13°C / 55°F, with a light jacket for the evenings, with rain on about 7 days, so keep a layer handy.
This is the value month: no need to book far ahead, and the freedom to change plans on the day is part of what you're getting.
