Synopsis

After 40+ 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.

In this book, Rick Steves shares essa......more

Goodreads review by Graeme on July 27, 2022

Wonderful musing on some Rick Steve's most memorable travel stops. I was expecting a bit more of a narrative and it turned out just to be a whole series of small articles.......more

Goodreads review by J.R. on July 24, 2020

Quite enjoyable, with a few excellent essays. More than a few of the 100 essays felt unfinished though, as if each was racing towards an Aesop’s Fables-like one-line meaning at the end.......more
