Rick Steves' Eastern Europe 2000-2007 - Travel Video.  DVD.

Five Shows: 2½ hours (+ bonus features), closed captioned, NTSC format, all region compatible.

Here's where we'll take you...

Prague and the Czech Republic — Newly energized Prague, slinky with sumptuous Art Nouveau facades, is perpetually playing Mozart and Vivaldi. Eastern Europe's top destination has Europe's best beer, biggest castle, liveliest pedestrian bridge, and most evocative Jewish Quarter. From Prague, we side-trip to Kutna Hora, once a silver-mining boomtown, to descend into its medieval mine and ponder its eerie chapel, decorated centuries ago with 40,000 bones.

Poland: Krakow, Auschwitz and Warsaw — Poland is ready to be rediscovered as the old "east" transforms itself into the new heart of Europe. Krakow, with its bubbly Baroque and cobbled charm, is emerging as the exciting "next Prague." Nearby, a visit to Auschwitz teaches us a timeless, soul-searching lesson. Systematically destroyed during World War II, Warsaw is a lively, thriving capital once again.

Budapest: The Best of Hungary — Budapest, once Vienna's partner in ruling the Austro-Hungarian Empire, feels like the capital of Eastern Europe. It's actually two cities — busy Pest and noble Buda — straddling the Danube and laced together by mighty bridges. Capitalism has taken hold with gusto as shopping boulevards thrive and stone Lenins and cast iron Stalins litter a theme park at the edge of town. Today Gypsy orchestras feature smoking violins, venerable mineral baths are the rage, and 19th century coffeehouses enjoy a renaissance. For a taste of the countryside — castles, cathedrals, and riverside villages — we cruise the Danube bend.

Slovenia and Croatia — We discover that Dubrovnik is still the "jewel of the Adriatic" while nearby villages decorate their dreamy archipelago with small-town Venetian charm. Ljubljana is like Salzburg without tourists. The Julian Alps glisten with pristine lakes as Lipizzaner stallions are eager to strut their stuff.

Nature - Land of the Falling Lakes  - Travel Video.  DVD.  1  Hour.
In the heart of Croatia lies a hidden treasure--Plitvice Lakes National Park. This extraordinary natural preserve is a fairy tale world that has lain undisturbed for centuries.
   That is, until Civil War tore the Balkans apart a decade ago. But, Plitvice has an almost supernatural ability to regenerate and heal itself.
   The restless landscape is constantly in motion, continually building new waterfalls and pools, merging its elements to create a place like no other.
   In this spellbinding episode from the award-winning PBS series, witness the savagery and splendor of nature that has created a kingdom formed, and ruled, by water.
   Here, one of the continent's largest population of brown bears, packs of wolves and lynx, and a host of other rare and remarkable creatures that have all but disappeared elsewhere, seek safe haven.
    Each season brings its own unique beauty to one of the last ancient European forests and an unparalleled world of crystal-clear lakes that flow into one another through a series of spectacular terraces and cascading waterfalls. It is a land of wonders.

Hidden Treasures: Europe to the Max - Romantic Germany and Beyond -  Travel Video.  DVD.  183 Minutes.
Take a grand tour of the Old World with public radio's original Savvy Traveler, Rudy Maxa, host of the award-winning American Public Television series, Smart Travels, and contributing editor to National Geographic Traveler magazine.
   This DVD includes visits to:

Germany's Romantic Road - Follow the Romantic Road as it winds through some of Germany's most picturesque countryside.
   Visit Wurzburg, with the spectacular Baroque Bishop's Palace, and enjoy a front row seat for Dinkelsbuhl's annual observance of the day the children saved the town during the Thirty Years War.
   Conclude your trip in Rothenburg, the best-preserved medieval walled city in Germany.

Germany's Rhine and Mosel Rivers - Take a scenic cruise down Germany's Rhine and Mosel rivers to visit vineyards and ancient castles. In Koblenz, witness where Julius Caeser destroyed two Germanic tribes, and just downstream, where American troops first crossed the Rhine during World War II.
   Your trip concludes in Cologne, with its modern art museum.

Prague and Budapest - Marvel at Prague's beautiful Old Town and tour the labyrinthine castle that haunted writer Franz Kafka.
   Browse the shops in this former communist country, as we witness the scene of the "Velvet Revolution."
   Then it is off to Budapest, where we surrender ourselves to mineral spas, are serenaded by gypsy music, and sway to the rhythms of Hungarian dancers.

Croatia's Dalmatian Coast - Europe's best-kept secret, the Croatian coast of Dalmatia, dazzles with stunning white stone cities and azure waters. From Dubrovnik, island hop up the coast and revel in the scenery.
   A highlight of this excursion is a visit to Korcula, an idyllic island retreat that is the most romantic of all Croatian walled beauties.

Music Lover's Europe - Wherever you are headed in Europe, music rings out in concert halls, opera houses, local festivals, markets, and street corners.
   Rudy shares his favorite musical moments in destinations that are worth a special trip: from Italy and the French Pyrenees to Ireland's County Claire and Norway.

Extra Features:

Rudy's Travel Tips - Train travel; Phoning home affordably; Theme Trips, and more.
Fascinating Side Trips - The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, boat ride from Korcula, and more.

Europe's Enchanted Lands - Nature Video.  DVD.  Approximately 2 Hours.

Program 1: Land of the Falling Lakes - In the heart of Croatia lies a hidden treasure--Plitvice Lakes National Park. This extraordinary natural preserve is a fairy tale world that has lain undisturbed for centuries.
   That is, until Civil War tore the Balkans apart a decade ago. But, Plitvice has an almost supernatural ability to regenerate and heal itself. The restless landscape is constantly in motion, continually building new waterfalls and pools, merging its elements to create a place like no other.
   In this spellbinding episode from the award-winning PBS series, witness the savagery and splendor of nature that has created a kingdom formed, and ruled, by water.

   Each season brings its own unique beauty to one of the last ancient European forests and an unparalleled world of crystal-clear lakes that flow into one another through a series of spectacular terraces and cascading waterfalls. It is a land of wonders.

Program 2: Ireland - From its ocean shores and wooded glens to its isolated mountains, Ireland's breathtaking landscapes seem untouched by time.
   Narrated by Jason O'Mara, this enchanting episode from public television's honored natural history series etches a vivid portrait of the Emerald Isle, graced with a host of plants and animals that thrive in one of the most varied landscapes in Europe.
   Rare native flowers, colonies of sea birds, dolphins and peregrine falcons, and the legendary racehorses of the Irish National Stud are only part of Ireland's fascinating story. Ireland's timeless beauty has survived the ages.
   But, what is old to us is still young to the land, which has been transformed again and again. Sheathed in ice; sculpted by retreating glaciers; covered in vast forests of oak; reshaped by human history; Ireland's story is still unfolding.
