Last Minute Sales & Specials

All 6 half-hour "Rick Steves' Europe" TV shows on Italy's countryside, filmed entirely on location, are together on a single DVD. Here's where we'll take you... "Cinque Terre: Italy's Hidden Riviera": In these five idyllic port towns, we sample village life: fishing for anchovies at midnight, savoring the best pesto, picking grapes, and strolling the "walkway of love." We side-trip to Carrara's quarries, where Michelangelo selected his marble. "Siena and Assisi: Italy's Grand Hill Towns": In red-bricked Siena, we tour the town's innovative medieval hospital and lavish cathedral. Exploring the Chianti region, we sip Brunello di Montalcino - with its makers. In Assisi, we follow the footsteps of St. Francis. "Tuscany's Dolce Vita": The villages and countryside of Tuscany give us a healthy dose of the "sweet life" as we hunt for truffles in a forest, nibble through an artichoke festival, share a farmhouse feast, and ride a classic convertible through the cypress groves of Mona Lisa's back yard. "Italy's Great Hill Towns": Italy's quintessential charms survive in its classic hill towns. From San Gimignano's medieval towers, to Cortona's charming lanes, to Orvieto's papal intrigue, to Civita di Bagnoregio's cliff-hanging vistas...all sit on lofty stone perches that seem to protect them from the modern world. "Italy's Amalfi Coast": Just south of Naples we'll experience the breath-taking Amalfi Coastline, the trendy resort of Positano, the limoncello charms of Sorrento, the ancient Greek temples at Paestum, and the iridescent Blue Grotto hidden beneath the enchanting isle of Capri. "The Best of Sicily": After going fishing with El Presidente off Cefalu, we land in rough-and-tumble Palermo. Marveling at the eerie skeletons in a Cappuccin crypt, airy mosaics of Monreale, enchanting ruins of Segesta, and the fiery rim of Mount Etna, we enjoy the best of Sicily.

Three newest episodes are presented in Widescreen Format.
