Rick Steves' Europe: 20-Year Anthology - Benelux & Beyond
1 - Amsterdam
Uniquely entertaining Amsterdam shows off its Rembrands and Van Goghs, rivers of bikes, and pot-filled coffeeshops - all under gabled facades leaning out over the placid canals.
2 - The Netherlands: Beyond Amsterdam
Zipping from Haarlem to Rotterdam, from Delft to the former Zuiderzee, we'll enjoy the fragrant cheese markets, soggy polder land, charming towns, and windmills both new and old.
3 - Belgium: Bruges and Brussels
We'll explore Belgium as a land of contrasts, from Brussels - with its powerhouse EU headquarters and Europe's grandest square - to back-lane bike rides in the quaint little Bruges.
4 - Little Europe: Five Micro-Countries
We'll explore Europe's "micro-states": Powerful Vatican City, the city-state of San Marino, alpine Liechtenstein, fairy-tale Monaco, and little Andorra, high in the Pyrenees.
5 - Bulgaria
We'll trace Bulgaria's complex history, from ancient tombs to medieval Orthodox monasteries to Soviet monuments, plus explore the cities of Sovia, Veliki Tarnovo, and Plovdiv.
6 - Romania
After touring the vibrant capital city of Bucharest, we'll head into Transylvania and Maramureș to visit the fortified churches, legendary castles, and time-warp villages.
7 - Rick Steves' Europe: A Symphonic Journey
We'll join Rick on a different journey: a symphonic journey. Just as travel broadens one's perspectives, so can music. In this hour-long concert special, Rick teams up with the Cascade Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Michael Miropolsky, on a musical tour that begins in the US, then touches down in seven European countries.
