Now available on DVD are eight shows from the award-winning public television series, Rick Steves' Europe. In Rick Steves' Europe: Germany, Swiss Alps and Travel Skills, Rick takes a cruise of the romantic Rhine River, tours the fairy-tale castles of "Mad" King Ludwig and visits the Reichstag's new glass dome in Berlin. Cowbells ring in the distance as Rick visits villages in the Swiss Alps and rides Europe's highest lift up the mighty Jungfrau. Also included is a three-part Travel Skills Special with specific tips on how to travel smoothly and affordably. Shot on location in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Venice, the Rhine, and Swiss Alps, the travel skills special covers Rick's favorite 3000-mile European loop.
