Join me as I check out the scene at the Aalsmeer flower auction. Every day from this building, 20 million flowers are shipped, destined to make someone’s day.
Travel Bite: Cruising Amsterdam’s Canals
From time to time, I share a random video clip to fuel your travel dreams. Join me today as I cruise down the canals in Amsterdam’s Jordaan district with tour guide Rolinka Bloeming. While just a few blocks from the busy center, the Jordaan feels like another world. Everything’s in its place, and life seems very good.

Why I Love Europe: Remote
For my holiday season gift to you, I’d like to share three exciting glimpses of why I love Europe. Over the next three days, we’ll travel to slices of Europe that are remote, sacred, and wild — starting today, with remote.
In today’s travel-dream-come-true, let’s canoe together on the canals of Holland, hike along the Cinque Terre (my favorite stretch of Riviera trail), and climb a tiny but dramatic and rewarding mountain in North England.
These images share the joy I get from my work. Along with my 100 workmates here at Rick Steves’ Europe, I’m working harder than ever. And knowing that because of our hard work, 20,000 happy adventurers who join our tours this year will be dealing with post-tour smile creases keeps me happily coming to my desk each day that I’m not on the road.
Happy dreams of happy travels…
-Rick
