Last Minute Sales & Specials

All 6 half-hour "Rick Steves' Europe" TV shows on Ireland and Scotland, filmed entirely on location, are together on a single DVD. Here's where we'll take you... "Dublin": We explore the town's thriving Grafton Street, patriotic jail, and Trinity College with its Book of Kells. We take a side trip to the prehistoric necropolis of Newgrange, and greet the evening in Temple Bar, awash with Celtic music and frothy pints of Guinness. "The Best of South Ireland": We find the icons of Ireland strewn along its fascinating south coast: Waterford's crystal factory; the Kennedy family homestead; and the Dunbrody famine ship. We also visit the Rock of Cashel and the medieval monastery at Glendalough. "The Best of West Ireland": After exploring the rugged and remote Aran Islands, we settle into Galway and venture into Ireland in the extreme - Dingle Peninsula. Ringing with traditional music from its rustic pubs, if you'll fall in love with Ireland, chances are it'll be right here. "Belfast and the Best of Northern Ireland": We tour bustling Belfast, sneaking a peek at its politically charged neighborhoods. Then we taste-test Irish whiskey, scramble over fascinating six-sided rock columns, and stomp our feet to Irish music in rough-and-tumble Derry. "Scotland's Islands and Highlands": In Scotland, legends of Bonnie Prince Charlie swirl with pipers and kilts around crumbling castles. After tossing a caber at a Scottish clan gathering, we play hide-and-seek with the Loch Ness Monster, tour a whisky distillery, and take a ferry to sacred Iona. "Edinburgh": Edinburgh is the historical and cultural heart of Scotland. We'll explore the castle, peek at the new parliament, dabble in the local literature, sip a little Scotch, get wrapped up in a kilt, and then stow away on Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia.
