Rick Steves’ Europe: Day-tripping in village Holland

Travel / Rick Steves' Europe /

Whenever I visit Amsterdam, I take time to visit the lush lowlands of Holland. In a country like the Netherlands – so small and with such a fine transportation infrastructure – day-tripping is easy to do. Within a half-hour of leaving Amsterdam's main train station, you can be deep in the Dutch countryside – awash with tulips, red-brick ...Read more

No ketchup allowed! “Chicagoans take their hot dog toppings seriously: mustard, onions and tomato, neon green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle and celery salt are must haves.

Celebrity Travel: Go away with Hannah Bahng

Travel / Celebrity Travel /

With her debut record, “The Abysmal EP,” indie artist Hannah Bahng showcases the kind of lyrical maturity that belies her youth.

Rick Steves’ Europe: Burgundy’s inviting wine and barge culture

Travel / Rick Steves' Europe /

One of my favorite corners of France is Burgundy, a region overflowing with edible, drinkable, scenic, and floatable delights. Its rolling hills and a handful of sleepy villages have given birth to the superior wines and fine cuisine that are so quintessentially French.

The city of Beaune, snug within its medieval walls, makes a handy base for ...Read more

Rick Steves’ Europe: Cruising through history on the raging Rhine River

Travel / Rick Steves' Europe /

Jostling through crowds of Germans and tourists in the Rhine River village of Bacharach, I climb to the sundeck of the ferry and grab a chair. With the last passenger barely aboard, the gangplank is dragged in and the river pulls us away.

I’m captivated by the Rhine. There's a rhythm to the mighty river that merges with its environment: black...Read more

Taking the Kids: On a transatlantic cruise without the kids

Boredom is not an option. Not on this Regent Seven Seas two-week transatlantic cruise from New York to Barcelona. Not even with seven days at sea, more than we have ever experienced without a port stop.

Rick Steves’ Europe: Iceland’s rugged beauty comes from within

Iceland's remote location and harsh climate aren't exactly welcoming. But its striking scenery, draped with glaciers and punctuated by craggy peaks and steamy geysers, makes this destination increasingly attractive to nature-loving travelers.

Rick Steves’ Europe: Artsy and urban Antwerp

Travel / Rick Steves' Europe /

Belgium falls through the cracks. It may be a little country, but it's one of Europe's big treats. While its capital, Brussels, is an international hub, the port city to the north – Antwerp – has more of a local identity. It’s an honest, what-you-see-is-what-you-get place, perhaps because it's in the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium called ...Read more
