Germany’s Popular Rothenburg Keeps Its Medieval Charm Alive

1 week ago | travelagentcentral.com | Rick Steves

by Rick Steves, May 7, 2025As a young backpacker, I first fell in love with the picturesque village of Rothenburg, in Germany's Franconian heartland. At that time, the town still fed a few farm animals within its medieval walls.

Bruges: Pickled in Gothic

2 weeks ago | travelagentcentral.com | Rick Steves

by Rick Steves, April 24, 2025The medieval Belgian town of Bruges attracts hordes of visitors, but don't let that keep you away. Get lost on its back streets, away from the lace shops and waffle stands, and ride a bike along a quiet canal, sip beer in a tiny pub, or find a secluded bench to nibble fine local chocolate. After all, despite Bruges' several worthwhile museums and churches, the ultimate sight here is the quaint town itself.

by Rick Steves, April 22, 2025On my last visit to Toledo, it seemed holier than ever: Dark El Greco clouds threatened overhead, stark against bright, clear horizons. Hail pelted the masses of people clogging the streets as they awaited the Good Friday procession.
