Rick is just home from a month of guidebook research in Portugal and northern Germany — and from sardines to sauerkraut, he's eager to share his latest tips, tricks, and stories! Going beyond the great sights, this hot-out-of-the-rucksack hour will focus on the little discoveries that inspire us to intimately connect with the cultures we're sampling. If a little Portugal (Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra, Tomar, and Nazaré) and Germany (Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, the Luther cities, and Rothenburg) sounds interesting, be sure to join Rick for his latest trip report. And for a fun bonus, he'll cap this special episode of MNT with a few stories and pictures from his family vacation: a sailing trip with his son Andy in the San Juan Islands, just north of Seattle. #ricksteves #mondaynighttravel

    Thank you, Rick. I loved this Monday Night Travel of Portugal and Germany. You have been my inspiration for travel for so many years. I started following you on PBS and finally after retirement I was able to travel to Europe in 2014. We were in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and there you were working on a tour book! What a thrill!!! We have continued to travel and try to follow your example. You mentioned the Turkish section of a German town. When we were in Nuremburg, we visit with a native and she told us about the time after WWII in Germany. They needed men (they lost so many of their men during the war), so they invited Turkish men to come to the country to help rebuild the country. Now the Turkish have a place in German life. The lady we visited with was married to a Turkish man.

    Rick, I admire your vision and how you scaled your business to fit your values. You have inspired thousands, if not millions, of intelligent entrepreneurs, and enriched even more readers and viewers' lives. A business can make a positive difference in the world!
