Rick's Road Trip USA: 20 cities in 20 days
"Europe, Europe, Europe! Rick, you need to discover America!"
It's advice that Rick Steves — after filming 100 travel TV shows in Europe — is finally ready to take.
This spring, America's best-known traveler embarks on a coast-to-coast road trip across the USA, stopping in 20 cities in 20 days. In communities all along the way, Rick is giving talks about what Europe has in store for travelers these days — and his unvarnished impressions of traveling the highways and byways of the United States.
Travel — no matter where we go — broadens our perspectives. And that's what Rick Steves' Road Trip USA (except for the flat tires) explores and celebrates.
See the events listed below — or click on the interactive Road Trip map — to rendezvous with Rick this spring! Contact the hosting organizations directly for show information and to reserve tickets.
