Rick Steves Travel

The Rick Steves Travel Forum is an official online community for fans of the travel author and television host, Rick Steves. It is a highly active and well-moderated forum specifically focused on European travel, reflecting the brand’s expertise. The community is built around the ethos of being a “temporary local” and encourages culturally-aware, budget-conscious, and independent travel. Members meticulously help each other plan detailed itineraries, recommend hotels and pensions, discuss transportation options (like Eurail passes), and share insights on sights both major and obscure. It is an essential resource for travelers seeking practical, first-hand advice that aligns with Rick Steves’ philosophy of connecting with local people and cultures.
