European Festivals II

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2018 | In this second of two episodes on Europe's greatest festivals, we'll dance with Spaniards at Sevilla's April Fair, celebrate Bastille Day in Paris, run with the bulls at Pamplona, and hoist a frothy stein at Munich's Oktoberfest. And we'll celebrate a traditional family Christmas, browsing the holiday market in Nürnberg and sledding down alpine slopes by torchlight in Switzerland. With the entire Continent as our playground, fun is our mission. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #europe

    Same here! I have always been a huge fan of Rick. I met him at a travel show a few years ago. He’s a very nice guy with great information on how to make your trip fascinating, and easy. Ever since I was little, I’ve always wanted to travel to Europe. I hope to travel there in the future

    re: France's National Holiday, celebrated on 14th July, no-one in France calls it "Bastille Day"; only the Anglo-Saxons do, for some obscure reason. The storming of the Bastille was, for the revolutionaries, in order to seize the arms, gun powder, etc. that were stocked there as it was then used as an armory. As a prison, there were just a handful of (forgotten) prisoners that were liberated on the occasion. It's become a symbol of the abolition of the monarch's despotism, and the building was subsequently destroyed.

    Heck, per other recent Oktoberfest videos on KZread, I didn't know that "old" people were among the revelers. Rick Steves found 'em, though. It''s cool that the young crowd has taken to traditional Bavarian costumes ... whether they're from Bavaria or Australia or Japan.

    This video is a re-upload from a video posted long ago before Rick Steve's hair started turning gray. This seems a bit disingenuous. Very disappointed.
