Rick Steves

Back to: Rick Steves Europe

Iceland's capital, Reykjavík; the Golden Circle's geysers and waterfalls; the Ring Road.

Join Rick Steves on an alpine adventure, from Italy to Austria to Switzerland to France.

Florence’s bold “rebirth” is powered by the genius of Leonardo, Rafael, and Michelangelo.

The turbulent century and its rule-breaking art—Picasso, Surrealism and edgy architecture.

Shimmering Impressionist canvases by Monet and Renoir, plus Van Gogh, Gauguin and more.

Roaming Europe, we admire stately Neoclassical buildings and dramatic Romantic paintings.

We marvel at Baroque’s over-the-top churches, palaces, bubbly fountains, and theatric art.

From Portugal to Germany, booming economies and new technologies produce exquisite art.

Greece’s timeless art: Golden Age temples, alluring Venuses, and exuberant Winged Victory.

Rome’s rise, as seen in its supersized monuments, colorful mosaics, and marble Caesars.

Soaring Gothic cathedrals of radiant stained glass, plus art celebrating worldly pleasure.

We marvel at Stone Age cave paintings, mighty megaliths, and mysterious goddesses.
