After 40-plus years of writing about Europe, Rick Steves has gathered 100 of his favorite memories together into one inspiring collection: For the Love of Europe: My Favorite Places, People, and Stories.

Join Rick as he's swept away by a fado singer in Lisbon, learns the dangers of falling in love with a gondolier in Venice, and savors a cheese course in the Loire Valley. Contemplate the mysteries of centuries-old stone circles in England, dangle from a cliff in the Swiss Alps, and hear a French farmer's defense of foie gras.

With a brand-new, original introduction from Rick reflecting on his decades of travel, For the Love of Europe features 100 of the best stories published throughout his career. Covering his adventures through England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and more, these are stories only Rick Steves could tell.

Wry, personal, and full of Rick's signature humor, For the Love of Europe is a fond and inspirational look at a lifetime of travel.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Having visited some of the places Rick highlights here, I had to smile and revisit them with his words. You can hear the delight and down to earthedness while he tells a bit about his love of Europe. Seems Rick likes to get tipsy and naked in a lot of countries!!! I can respect that!!!

Incredibly Enjoyable

What a great book that was, I have always cherished his television series but this book just topped it off. Hope you do several more books if you can. Everyone can benefit from your experiences and knowledge of traveling.

Rick covers not only where to travel but how to travel. With a wide range of destinations he points out differences in foods and customs and reminds us to appreciate those differences rather than compare to our American ways.

For big Rick fans, you are likely to have heard many of the anecdotes throughout the book. Much is a repeat of travel talks and shows.
That being said, I can listen to Rick talk about Europe time and time again. It never really gets old.
This came out at the right time. I needed it.
Keep on travelin’

Makes me want to get back out there
