November 25: European City Planning with Rick Steves

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

Rick has long admired European city planning (and has photographed innovative solutions he hopes might inspire Americans to be as creative) — for example, how pedestrian zones keep downtown districts lively, how public transit and bike lanes get more love than cars, how climate change is taken seriously, and how heritage is honored while infrastructure is modernized for efficiency. Rick had so much fun giving a keynote address to the Washington State chapter of the American Planning Association last month that he wanted to share the talk with his MNT family. So, mind the gap as you step on board for a fun and insightful hour that may get you thinking about how to make your own community more efficient, energetic, and…European.

December 2: Toledo with Amanda Buttinger

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

Toledo abounds with art by Spanish masters and fascinating religious sights, all lassoed together into a medieval maze by the River Tagus. Incredibly well preserved and packed with cultural wonder, the entire city has been declared a national monument. With the help of tour guide and American expat Amanda Buttinger, we explore the Toledo Cathedral (the most Gothic in all of Spain), look back at the city's longstanding tradition of sword-making, and marvel at the intricacies of Damascene jewelry. Join us as we dive deep into this popular day-trip destination from Madrid…and discover it merits an overnight stay.
