Consummate traveler, host and best-selling guidebook author Rick Steves returns for a ninth season of the travel series RICK STEVES' EUROPE.
This season, join Rick as he experiences the local culture, cuisine and fun in some of Europe’s most interesting places, including Italy, England, Germany, Bulgaria and Romania.
Whether you want to visit Siena’s wild Il Palio horse race or explore the forested mountains of Transylvania for a peek at an old German fortress, Rick provides informative and enlightening ways to enjoy Europe's great cities and off-the-beaten-path discoveries.
"Assisi And Italian Country Charm" - In the Italian countryside, Rick connects with rustic, traditional culture: enjoying an agriturismo (farmhouse inn), seeing how prosciutto and pecorino cheese are made, and hiking down into deep and ancient wine cellars.
He ends in Assisi — the hometown of St. Francis — which retains its spiritual aura to this day. Like pilgrims, he explores its stony center before trekking to its awe-inspiring basilica, built on the tomb of the beloved saint.
Past episodes and clips of RICK STEVES' EUROPE are available for online viewing.
