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.
In Rick Steves’ Europe: Southwest Germany and Portugal, Rick teams up with his family to enjoy Germany’s good life, dipping into a classy mineral spa, trying their luck at a fancy casino, and exploring Germany’s most romantic forest. In the Portuguese countryside, Rick and his family eat barnacles in a salty old fishing town, march with pilgrims on the anniversary of a miracle, ponder the local Romeo and Juliet, sample university life, and rummage through the riches of Portugal’s Golden Age.
