Rick shares his expertise on how to travel smoothly and affordably through Europe. You’ll learn practical tips for planning your trip, getting around, findin…
Just toured 11 countries in Europe and Rick was a big help in planning and
education for my trip. He knows what he’s talking about!
Grocery-shopping and eating it in your hotel room is both inexpensive and
immerses you into the local scene.
Most of the old folk in the crowd will never do what Rick is telling them
to do, they are to scared. Thank god, keep them and the giant buses they
come on away from me!!!
Oh I loved getting lost in Rome. I have a travelogue that I wrote about it.
I did weep at the Sistine Chapel. I had been reading about it all my life,
and to actually be there, I was so overwhelmed. I got lost in Paris too.
What fun!
this is a very helpful resource for people who have not done a lot of
travelling so far, thanks for sharing your insights and experiences

I LOVE Rick Steve’s journeys!!! I am permanently disabled and through your
PBS travel shows I can travel along with you to Europe as if I have gone
along! Thank you so much for enriching my life, what I see through your
eye’s and experience, I too have the enjoyment of being in Europe,
something I would NEVER have been able to do otherwise! Keep up your
FANTASTIC WORK!!!
I love the lectures that this man gives….SMART, FUNNY AND
ENTERTAINING!!!!
“Be part of the party and not the economy.” Great quote.
Cool ideas to experience Europe “as part of the party, not part of the
economy. Not just seen as a $ dollar sign.”

Great lecture Steve! Would love if you would check out my travel videos. I
have been blogging and making videos for 3 years now and have been to over
25 countries.
I love watching your shows Rick. Thank you
CS has ways of making sure that hosts are legit. Stay with a host that has
hosted a lot of people and are “verified.” Look for their references and
testimonials on their pages. I’ve done it and it was great!
I’ve read Europe Through the Backdoor and five of Rick’s guidebooks
(including Best of Europe, Best of Eastern Europe, and several country and
city guides), and I still learned something new. Rick Steves is my homeboy,
I never could’ve done my 95-day 50-city tour without him.
Awesome! Thank you for uploading this. It’s exactly what I needed.
Best tip you gave: stay in small (family, though not always) hotels/B&Bs
and eat in smaller restaurants that are usually a few streets away from the
tourist hotspots. Spot on! I’m European but that’s what I do when I travel
in Europe as well. Best way to meet locals and get the real feel of a
place. And Europeans in general don’t hate Americans at all. But it helps
if you keep a low profile, don’t be too loud and overly patriotic. Just
enjoy, keep an open mind, be respectful and you’ll be fine.
nice!
the thing I am enjoying just as much as all the advice is Rick`s humor in
these lectures! that is something that I dont think comes across as much in
the individual travel episodes. it`s made these lectures very entertaining
to watch as well as informative. I think my own intuition about travelling
is to get off the beaten track and avoid the crowds whenever possible. I
have almost no interest in seeing the tackier tourist `must sees` that
inevitably make you feel like a herd of cattle!
Hey Rick! at 43:39 their is an error, the sign is from Sweden not Denmark…
Love the story about the Cheese Shop!!!
Thanks for the information, Steve!
my ‘philosophy’ of traveling too Rick.. the most memorable experience i had
in Italy was heading out of Rome (on foot) trying to find marble statues i
had seen in an art book. i wanted to take my own pictures. had no idea
where i was going exactly, but knew to go North along the river. i was
forced to converse with Italians even though i speak no Italian! i would
show them a picture and ask them where it was.. ‘200 meters!’ they would
say as they pointed. it was a wonderful experience!
