Milan and Lake Como

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2006 | No trip to Italy is complete without Milan and Lake Como. In Milan we'll take a peek at Italy's highest fashion, fanciest delis, grandest cemetery, and greatest opera house...not to mention Leonardo's Last Supper. Then we'll cruise along Lake Como, settling down in the lakeside village of Varenna...classic honeymoon country, where Italy meets the Alps. #ricksteveseurope #milan #lakecomo

2024 hi everyone.

I fell in love to this channel around 2017 or 2018 when I was in my lowest point of life. Now I'm trying to gain my life back and I'm still here watching his videos over and over.

Not because I want to travel to the places featured here but I like to watch the videos he did. Idk, I also like the way he speaks and the way the whole video is. It's calm and relaxing at the same time tranquil and exciting. Knowledgeable too.

i never thought i would watch this kind of show/video. it's like a tv show that i totally would skip when i was a kid and now i'm loving it lol it's so relaxing

[robusttj]

How I long for Europe. Far away in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 West Africa, I have been traveling in Europe with Rick Steves from my bed since I was 9 years old. I am now 19 years old and my biggest wish is to be there in person one day. How I wish I was born in Europe and I am sure I would never spend a day without joy. My love for Europe developed when I started watching movies that depict the middle ages of the Continent. I am currently learning German 🇩🇪 and French 🇫🇷 hoping 🙏 that I could get I job that could make my dream of visiting my far away darling. To all the Europeans, please 🙏 take good care of the continent, love each other, and preserve the most beautiful culture of all time. Long Live Europe and Its Culture.

Every morning, I make myself a cup of coffee and sip it while watching Rick Steves' on PBS. This episode was on today, Amalfi Coast yesterday. Oh my goodness, Italy looks like heaven on Earth. I so wish to travel to Europe someday. From the landscape to the art, buildings, ruins, and people - Everything is so breathtakingly beautiful and timeless! In the meantime, I'll travel vicariously with Rick :)

Been to Milan and Lake Como, absolutely breathtaking but not cheap. Well worth the visit no matter the cost.

I could spend the rest of my life exploring Italy.

Lake Como is truly amazing. We rented a 2 bedroom flat in Belagio with lake view and it was exquisite. Best gelato ever! The beauty of this place is breathtaking.

[carlobrotto]
