Rick Steves' Europe Guidebooks

A guidebook series focused on European travel

THE A5 REVIEW

The Rick Steves travel guide series is perhaps one of the best choices for a guide on Europe.  'The travel guides only cover Europe, with a gentle push toward experiencing the real experience by staying in small places and connecting with locals.  While some guides broadly cover everything, Rick and his team selectively choose the best destinations and makes recommendations on what they believe a traveler should really know and do.  The advice is candid, sometimes funny, and definitely valuable.  Rick Steves has been writing and talking about European travel since 1973, starting with his first book Europe Through the Back Door published in 1980.  Besides his popular series of guidebooks, Rick produces a public radio show called Travel with Rick Steves and a public television series called Rick Steves’ Europe.  His company now offers a host of guided tours for small groups.
