Back to: Rick Steves Europe

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

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

Prehistoric cave paintings; Egyptian pyramids and temples; classical Greek statues.

Bubbly Baroque art and austere Neoclassicism; divine kings, Revolution, and Napoleon.

Art of Europe’s “Age of Faith”: Romanesque, Gothic, Byzantine, Moorish, and even Viking.

Groundbreaking statues, paintings, and architecture—humanism in Florence and beyond.

Romanticism, Impressionism, Art Nouveau; Cubism (Picasso) and Surrealism (Dalí).

The rise and fall of Rome through its architecture and art (statues, mosaics, frescoes).

This special is a sonnet to travel as Rick celebrates the joy of exploring our world.
