Rick Steves' Europe (2000)

Episode Overview

In the first of a two-part series exploring Europe's most vibrant festivals, we join the lively crowds at Siena's thrilling Palio horse race, try our hand at tossing a caber during the Scottish Highland Games, immerse ourselves in the masked revelry of Carnevale in Venice, and experience the joy of Easter celebrations in Greece. As we visit some of the continent's finest festivities, we uncover a rich tapestry of cultural traditions, filled with chances to sing, dance, indulge in local cuisine, and celebrate alongside the community.
