Rick Steves' Europe

In this first of three shows covering travel skills, we’ll visit the Netherlands and Germany to learn about transportation by train and car within Europe, changing money, and settling in upon arrival.

Venice, more than any other European city, has an endlessly seductive charm. For centuries, it was nicknamed La Serenissima, "The Most Serenely Beautiful One"— and for good reason.

In this second of a two episodes on Florence, we’ll enjoy more of the exquisite artistic treasures of the city that propelled Europe out of the Middle Ages.

Fifteenth-century Florence was the home of the Renaissance and the birthplace of our modern world.

This second of three shows on Rome reveals a city busy with life and bursting with Baroque.

This time we’re all getting all pumped up to run with the bulls in Pamplona, and we’ll join the pilgrims on their hike to Santiago in northwest Spain.

Helsinki and Tallinn—two great capitals on the Baltic Sea—each suffered through a challenging 20th century. But both are enjoying good times today.

For many travelers, the quintessence of Spain is found here—Andalucía. Join us as we enjoy the food, history, art, and dance of perhaps Europe's most passionate corner.

Tiny Slovenia—with just two million people—is one of Europe's most unexpectedly delightful destinations. Located where the Germanic, Mediterranean, and Slavic worlds come together, Slovenia has a unique appeal.

Rick travels to Tehran, Shiraz, and Persepolis, where we get a rare look into architecture, art, faith, and everyday living in the reigons of Iran.
