An all-new season of Rick Steves' Europe is ready for take-off [460 words]
Rick Steves' latest series of travel shows debuts this fall with ten all-new shows and a special "making of" episode that lets us follow along with Rick and his crew as they create America's most popular travel series.
In this new season, Rick takes us to great cities: dodging Vespas in Naples, feeling the thriving pulse of chic Milan, donning a kilt in bonnie Edinburgh, and waltzing through Vienna.
The new series, two years in the making, transports us into the villages and countryside as never before. It's as if we're right there — scaling steaming Mount Vesuvius, lapping up la dolce vita in Tuscany, and communing with nature in Austria's Salzkammergut alpine lake district. Teaming up with Rick, we join a shepherd and his dog rustling sheep in the pristine mountains of northern Wales, and follow frisky hounds through an Umbrian oak forest as they sniff out precious truffles.
Connecting with people who've found their niche in life adds carbonation to any experience. In every show, we meet people who dish up travel fun with a contagious joie de vivre that inspires us to live life to its fullest. Traveling with Rick, we'll sip limoncello in an Amalfi orchard, track down Beatle memories in Liverpool, savor scotch right out of the keg in Scotland, cook strudel in Hapsburg splendor, cruise in a classic convertible under the cyprus trees of Tuscany, and sloppily stretch the mozzarella on pizza in its Neapolitan birthplace.
Rick's series makes history feel real — from stowing away on Her Majesty's yacht Britannica to strolling along the ancient alleys of unlucky Pompeii. Pondering a magical unicorn tusk in the Habsburg crown jewels, romping the ruined ramparts of once-mighty English castles built to squelch the Welsh, spending some alone time with Leonardo's Last Supper, and resurrecting the rubble of Pompeii, the new season of Rick Steves' Europe makes history both fun and meaningful.
After 15 years and more than a hundred episodes, Rick and his crew finish this new series with a special behind-the-scenes look at how they create the shows. With an extra camera following them through the shooting of an entire episode, you'll understand the challenges, surprises, and travel fun that result as we follow our favorite tour guide through the wonders of Europe.
And as public television continues to be a leader in high-definition broadcasting in America, this new Rick Steves' Europe series — underwritten once again by American Airlines — comes to you in vivid hi-def, making it more clear than ever that a half hour exploring Europe with Rick Steves is your next best thing to a plane ticket.
