Monday, January 13: On the Hippie Trail with Rick Steves

6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET | REGISTER

In the 1970s, the ultimate trip for any backpacker was the storied "Hippie Trail" from Istanbul to Kathmandu. As a 23-year-old, Rick made the trek, and like a travel writer in training, he documented it all. Leaping off a moving train in Yugoslavia, getting lost in Lahore, getting high for the first time in Herat, battling leeches in Pokhara, making the scene on Freak Street in Kathmandu…it's all in Rick's 60,000-word journal, which is now his newest book. To celebrate the release of On the Hippie Trail, stow away with Rick as he shares photos and tells tales from his trip of a lifetime.

The inauguration of Donald Trump heralds a new age of traveling in Europe. The new administration's policies will have a huge impact overseas, and Europeans are likely to have pointed concerns and questions for us American travelers.

Rick’s European Sleigh Ride: A Review of Top 2024 Travel Experiences

This event was recorded on December 16, 2024.

In this festive edition of Monday Night Travel, Rick returns with a Christmas present for our MNT travelers: an information-packed review of his 2024 travels, gift-wrapped with a Christmassy open and close. After sharing a scene from his beloved European Christmas TV special, Rick takes us along on his research trip from Rome to London and from Portugal to Germany before bringing us to France with his TV crew to film in Paris and indulge in a lazy gourmet barge cruise down a Burgundy canal. Lastly, Rick puts a bow on the evening with a look back at a cozy family Christmas in the Swiss Alps. Join Rick with your favorite holiday treats (he'll be sipping eggnog with rum and savoring European Christmas cakes and cookies), and pack along your 2025 travel dreams.
