Rick Steves' Europe is a long-running Travelogue Show that has aired on PBS since the year 2000. As the title suggests, it's focused on Europe and is hosted by travel writer Rick Steves.A typical episode features Rick traveling to a specific region of a country and starting in a major city, like London, Paris, Munich, or Venice. He visits the major tourism sites like museums and landmarks, often joined by a local travel guide he knows. Then he travels to the countryside and smaller towns, giving a much wider view of the destination. Along the way, he chats with the locals and samples meals and drinks that the area might be known for.The show is intended to inspire its viewers into taking their own vacations to Europe, and, to that end, his company sells tours of Europe as well as guidebooks reflecting Rick's philosophy on travel. In addition to the TV show, Rick Steves also hosts a radio program that is heard on NPR stations, and a website with travel tips and videos (including clips from the series). | |

Subverted Catch-Phrase | |
| Rick Steves' Europe / int_247228a9 | comment |
Subverted Catchphrase: Rick begins the episode "Germany's Fascist Story" with his signature catchphrase, welcoming the viewer to more of the best of Europe. He pauses, drops his smile, and clarifies, in a more somber tone, that this episode is about the worst of Europe. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
| Rick Steves' Europe / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Rick is on the idealistic side of things, nearly always being cheerful and positive about the place that he's currently visiting. The only exceptions are when a more somber tone is really, really warranted, such as when he's visiting Auschwitz for example. | |

Going Native: Rick always endeavors to become a "temporary local" in the place that he's visiting, and he encourages you, the viewer, to do the same in your own travels. | |

"Ethiopia: A Development Story" is focused mainly on spotlighting the plight of poor people in developing countries, and it too features credits without the usual Hilarious Outtakes. And no, Ethiopia is not in Europe. | |
