Munich & the Foothills of the Alps:: In Munich, we visit boisterous markets & go-for-Baroque palaces. Heading toward the Alps, we tour the fairy-tale castles of "Mad" King Ludwig & climb to the highest point in Germany. Then we cross into the Tirol to conquer a desolate, ruined castle.

Germany's Romantic Rhine & Rothenburg: Cruising the Rhine, we dodge riverboat traffic & the legendary Loreley, then tour the still-lived-in castle of Burg Eltz. In medieval Rothenburg we join the night watchman for a tour of the town's lamp-lit ramparts.

Germany's Black Forest & Cologne: Rick teams up with his wife & kids to appreciate the Gothic artistry of Cologne's cathedral. Then it's time to enjoy the good life, dipping into a classy mineral spa, devouring chocolate-cherry cake & exploring Germany's most romantic forest.

Berlin: Resilient, Reunited & Reborn: We climb the Reichstag's new glass dome, sway at a modern-day cabaret, swoon over great art & pop a few chocolates in the now thriving eastern sector. Then we crane our necks at Potsdamer Platz, Europe's newest Times Square..

Belgium: Bruges & Brussels:: From Europe's grandest square in big-city Brussels, we travel to the quaint lanes of Bruges. We climb a bell tower to get up close & fortissimo at a carillon concert. Then passionate chefs--creators of Europe's finest chocolate--give us a taste of their art..

Amsterdam & Dutch Side-Trips: Amsterdam stimulates all the senses, with Rembrandts & stately architecture from its Golden Age & titillating street life from its modern age. Side-tripping into the country-side, we climb windmills & tour the world's biggest flower market.

Little: Five Micro-Countries: Don't blink as we blitz through Europe's tiniest countries: Vactican City, San Marino, Andorra, Liechtenstein & the fairytale princedom of Monaco.
