Rick Steves' Europe

Andalucia: The Best of Southern Spain

In Croatia, we'll see the Pearl of the Adriatic, sample some island charm, wander Roman ruins, and hike through a watery wonderland. We'll also enjoy its thriving capital city and the Italian-like Istrian Peninsula.

Croatia: Adriatic Delights

Exploring parts of Croatia, Montenegro, and Bosnia, we'll get to know the three major groups of the former Yugoslavia - Croats, Serbs, and Muslims. And we'll throw in a little fun in the sun in Dubrovnik.

Dubrovnik and Balkan Side-Trips

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.

The Best of Slovenia

For many travelers, the quintessence of Spain is found in Andalucia. Join us in Granada, Cordoba, and the Costa del Sol as we enjoy the food, history, art, and dance of Europe's most passionate corner.

Granada, Cordoba, and Spain's Costa del Sol

Join Rick as we explore Andalucia - prancing horses, whitewashed hilltowns, kite surfing on sunny beaches. Then we'll summit the Rock of Gibraltar and sample Morocco, from tribal musicians and busy artisans to the magic of its markets.

Andalucia, Gibraltar, and Tangier

We'll connect with the culture and art of Norway's proud capital city - from once-fearsome Viking ships to its sleek Opera House, and from tales of World War II heroes to the constant festival of its thriving waterfront.

Oslo

Join Rick as we explore Norway's rugged west. We'll sail through majestic fjords and hike powerful glaciers before enjoying the salty hospitality of the country's historic capital, Bergen.

Once a respected military power, now famously neutral, Sweden's stately capital respects its rich heritage while embracing modern innovation.

Stockholm

Starting in the Finnish capital of Helsinki, we explore its Neoclassical old town, modern flair for design, and steamy saunas. Then it's a quick boat ride to Estonia's capital, Tallinn - with its medieval charms and post-USSR renaissance.

In Northern Spain, we'll run with the bulls in Pamplona and join the pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago.

Northern Spain and the Camino de Santiago

The land of the Basque people is split between France and Spain. With a stubborn spirit and an industrious nature, the Basques celebrate this rich heritage while embracing the future.

In the Alps of Austria and Italy, we conquer the Zugspitze, visit Innsbruck, tour a medieval castle, hike to Europe's largest alpine meadow, and experience Tyrolean folk culture.

Lacing together dramatic mountains with scenic train rides, breathtaking lifts, and unforgettable hikes, we savor Switzerland's jaw-dropping alpine beauty and its rich culture.

After exploring Lyon, we head for the French Alps. We'll make some high-altitude cheese, ride the lift to Aiguille du Midi, and hike the Tour du Mont Blanc.

French Alps and Lyon

Traveling across Germany, we learn how fascism rose and then fell - and how we can recognize that hateful ideology as well as the tricks of wannabe dictators in our own age.

Germany's Fascist Story

Cairo, Egypt, pulses with energy. We drop in on a mosque, haggle with eager merchants, marvel at King Tut's gold, greet the ancient Sphinx, and climb into the center of a pyramid.

Egypt's Cairo

Exploring the Nile Valley from north to south, we see the highlights of Egypt, from fabled Alexandria, to the pharaohs' tombs and temples at Luxor, to the temple at Abu Simbel.
