Rick Steves doesn’t just list where to travel in Europe, he leads travelers through the “back door,” and reveals how to delve into European culture, connect with the locals, and experience each region’s natural wonders economically and hassle free. Beautifully filmed on location throughout Europe, his newest video series captures the essence of each destination and highlights the best local sights, from world-famous attractions to lesser-known gems.
From England’s white cliffs of Dover to Land’s End, Rick ponders cross-Channel invasions. He explores Admiral Nelson’s flagship, chases wild ponies across the moors, and discovers an ancient stone circle. After a visit to King Arthur country at Glastonbury, he time-travels to prehistoric Stonehenge. He meets an eccentric lord in the Cotswolds and visits a ruined abbey in South Wales. In Scotland, he tosses a log at a Scottish clan gathering, tours a distillery, and takes a ferry to sacred Iona. “It’s Rick Steves again, that one-man Euro-dynamo.” — Chicago Tribune
