Greece Lonely Planet

Experience aquamarine coastline, sun-bleached ancient ruins, strong feta and stronger ouzo. The Greek landscape thrills, and its people are equally passionate about politics, coffee, art and gossiping.
If you long to follow in the footsteps of the gods, let this inspirational guide show you the way.
It's the gifts from strangers, the clank of the ferries, the rich tastes of honey and olives. It's storks on chimney tops, hard-drinking shepherds and monasteries on sandstone pillars. Dodge the crowds and find your own best Greek experience.

Florence & Tuscany 2012 Rick Steves

Florence is Europe's cultural capital, with more artistic masterpieces per square kilometer than anyplace else. In a single day, you could look Michelangelo's David in the eyes, fall under the seductive sway of Botticelli's Birth of Venus, and climb the modern world's first dome, which still dominates the skyline. But why stop there?

The nearby cities of Siena, Lucca and Pisa offer a wealth of history, art and mouth-watering cuisine — all on a pedestrian-friendly scale. And with its manicured hills, rustic farms, wine-soaked villages and "slow food" specialties — the Tuscan hill country offers the ideal rural getaway for museum-overdosed travelers.

Traveling this way, you become a temporary European, part of the family - approaching Europe on its level, accepting and enjoying its unique ways of life. We demand nothing, except that no fuss be made over us!

London 2012 Rick Steves

London is more than its museums and landmarks. It's a living, breathing, thriving organism...a coral reef of humanity. The city has changed dramatically in recent years, and many visitors are surprised to find how "un-English" it is. But this only adds to its rich cultural tapestry. You'll find delicious dishes from around the globe here: Chinese takeaways outnumber fish-and-chips shops. But London hasn't changed so much that you can't blow through the city with goose bumps, on the open deck of a double-decker sightseeing bus or take a pinch-me-I'm-in-Britain walk through the West End. Ogle the crown jewels at the Tower of London, hear the chimes of Big Ben, and see the Houses of Parliament in action. Just sit in Victoria Station, Piccadilly Circus, or a major Tube station and observe. Sip a pint in a pub with a yacky local, and experience British Invasion rock in its birthplace.

Scandinvia Rick Steves

Scandinavia is one of the most beautiful places in the world. With a stunning landscape and progressive, cosmopolitan cities, this region offers something for everyone. While Scandinavia is home to the famed Tivoli Gardens, Hans Christian Andersen's house and The Little Mermaid, Rick Steves uncovers "Back Door" activities such as touring by bike through a sleepy remote Danish isle, docking at a time-passed fjord village, and wandering among eerie, prehistoric monoliths in Sweden. Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland offer their own unique attributes, making a trip to Scandinavia a diverse and memorable experience. And, because Estonia's Tallinn has great restaurants and a medieval walled town center, Rick Steves recommends you check it out for a breezy look at one of the Baltics.
In Rick Steves' Scandinavia, you'll find in-depth Rick-tested information on trip planning, the best sights, hotels, restaurants, tourist offices, transportation, telephones, festivals and holidays, mail and email, weather, survival phrases, easy-to-follow maps, and great self-guided neighborhood walks and museum tours.
