From Rick Steves’ Europe. Every king’s dream, Versailles was the residence of French monarchs and the cultural heartbeat of Europe for about 100 years — until the Revolution of 1789 changed all that.

From Tips For Travellers. Before boarding my Explora Journeys cruise, I had many questions, including if this new line would live up to the rave online reviews, who it is competing with, and who they were aiming at as I’d started seeing many ads targeting families with kids. So, as I boarded Explora II in…
From Rick Steves’ Europe. These days Europe is very crowded—everybody seems to be going to the same places at the same times.
