Budapest: The Best of Hungary

Rick_Steves’_Europe_Season_3_screen11.jpg

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 Roma (Gypsy) orchestras feature smoking violins, venerable mineral baths are the rage, and 19th century coffeehouses enjoy a renaissance.

Lisbon and the Algarve

Rick_Steves’_Europe_Season_3_screen12.jpg

Then we head for the south coast of your travel dreams-the Algarve. We explore the Land’s End of Europe- windy and historic Cape Sagres before savoring pristine beaches and arm- wrestling octopi in the sleepy fishing village of Salema.

Sevilla and Andalusia

Sevilla is the flamboyant city of Carmen and Don Juan. It’s where bullfighting is still politically correct and where little girls dream of growing up to become flamenco dancers. Sevilla has soul-and we feel it in its lacy Moorish palace, massive cathedral, lavish royal tombs, labyrinthine Jewish quarter, and its people-filled streets. After munching tasty tapas, we head south for Andalusia’s ultimate whitewashed hilltown, Arcos de la Frontera. Sevilla is the flamboyant city of Carmen and Don Juan.

Venice: Serene, Decadent, and Still Kicking

Sorting through the monuments of magical Venice, we trace its decline from Europe’s most powerful city to its most hedonistic. We cruise its main street

• the Grand Canal - then get lost in its back lanes. We drink-in the art of Titian, Bellini, Donatello, and the Doge’s Palace. We luxuriate in a venerable café on St. Mark’s Square, enjoy calamari with locals in a canal-side pub, then find our own private Venice - on a gondola, under the moonlight.

Venice Sidetrips

Pulling on hip boots, we settle into the muck of Venice, then take a speedboat tour of the lagoon. On the mainland, we head for Padua to tour a once-illegal anatomy theater and track the restoration of Giotto’s Scrovegni Chapel. In Vicenza, we admire elegant Palladian-style streets and villas. In Verona, we climb the Roman colosseum, jostle with tourists to rub the brass breast of Juliet, and taste-test grappa before riding the train to Ravenna for its dazzling 1500-year-old mosaics.

Florence: City of Art

In the birthplace of the Renaissance, we look into the eyes of Michelangelo’s David and Botticelli’s Venus, learn tricks for touring the Uffizi art gallery, and climb the dome that kicked off the Renaissance. Then we delve into the Florentine good life: visiting a fragrant 400-year-old perfumery, sipping Campari on a rooftop, chasing the sunset on a Vespa, and sleeping serenely in a converted monastery.

Siena and Assisi: Italy’s Grand Hill Towns

In red-bricked Siena, we tour the town’s innovative medieval hospital, lavish cathedral, and a bakery that makes panforte (like fruitcake, only delicious). Exploring the Chianti region, we sip Brunello di Montalcino — with its makers. Spending the night at a farmhouse, we meet the family and its sheep, learn of the Slow Food Movement, and enjoy a homegrown dinner. In Assisi, we follow the footsteps of St. Francis, from his humble chapel to the Giotto-frescoed basilica that holds his tomb.

Cinque Terre: Italy’s Hidden Riviera

In these five idyllic port towns, we sample village life: fishing for anchovies at midnight, savoring the best pesto, picking grapes, and cheering cliff divers as we hike the “walkway of love.” Each pastel town is a delight, but my favorite is Vernazza - where Giovanni makes pasta and Granelli sells porcini mushrooms at the tiny street market. We side-trip to Carrara’s historic quarries where Michelangelo selected his marble, then return to Vernazza to stroll its only street (with the entire village) as the sun sets.

Amsterdam and Dutch Sidetrips

Amsterdam stimulates all the senses, with Rembrandt’s and stately architecture from its Golden Age, hidden churches and Holocaust memorials from its troubled times, and Van Gogh’s and titillating street life from its modern age. Then, side-tripping into the countryside (and below sea-level), we hike dikes, climb windmills, tour the world’s biggest flower market, and see how in Holland, “everything’s just so Dutch!” Amsterdam stimulates all the senses, with Rembrandt’s and stately architecture from its Golden Age, hidden churches and Holocaust memorials from its troubled times, and Van Gogh’s and titillating street life from its modern age.

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.

Dublin and Mystical Sidetrips

Dublin’s story is of feast and famine - from its 18th-century Golden Age to its 20th-century struggles for independence to its boomtime today. We explore the town’s foreboding castle, patriotic jail, and Trinity College with its Book of Kells-a bright light in the Dark Ages. At night we party in Temple Bar, awash with Celtic music and frothy pints of Guinness. We side-trip to the prehistoric necropolis of Newgrange and the medieval monastery at Glendalough, tucked in the scenic Wicklow Mountains. Dublin’s story is of feast and famine

South Ireland: Waterford to the Ring of Kerry

We find the icons of Ireland strewn along its fascinating south coast: Waterford’s much-loved crystal factory; the Kennedy family homestead; the Dunbrody famine ship; and Kinsale’s star-shaped fortresses. After learning why locals don’t kiss the Blarney Stone, visit elegant Muckross House. Then savor the scenic charms of the Emerald Isle by driving the Ring of Kerry.

The Best of West Ireland: Dingle, Galway, and the Aran Islands

Deepest Ireland is best experienced on its west coast in Gaeltachts - where the people speak Gaelic and the rugged villages have changed little over the generations. After exploring the rugged and remote Aran Islands, we settle into Galway, chase a friendly dolphin, and delve into Ireland in the extreme, Dingle Peninsula. Ringing with traditional music from its rustic pubs, dotted with prehistoric “fairy forts,” if you’ll fall in love with Ireland, chances are it’ll be right here.

Berlin: Resilient, Reunited, and Reborn

Berlin is back, resuming its place as a great European capital. We climb the Reichstag’s glass dome, sway at a modern-day cabaret, and pop a few chocolates in the now thriving eastern sector. Along with Germany’s finest art, complicated Berlin also has hidden remnants of its fascist and communist past. In a city that’s rebounding and rebuilding, we crane our necks at Potsdamer Platz, Europe’s newest Times Square. Berlin is back, resuming its place as a great European capital.

Germany’s Romantic Rhine and Rothenburg

Cruising the Rhine River, we dodge riverboat traffic and the legendary Lorelei. After climbing castles and descending into dungeons, we relax with Rhine wine. We tour Burg Eltz-a lived-in castle where the noble lady still puts out fresh flowers. Then we enter the walled town of Rothenburg for Germany’s best wood carving, a vivid dose of medieval punishment, and a tour with the night watchman of the town’s lamp-lit ramparts.

In Munich, where locals specialize in good living, we visit boisterous markets and go-for-Baroque palaces. while office workers surf in the Isar River. Heading into the foothills of the Alps, we tour the fairy-tale castles of “Mad” King Ludwig, and climb to the highest point in Germany atop the Zugspitz.

Switzerland’s Jungfrau Region: Best of the Alps

If Heidi is alive, she’s in this sky-high corner of the Swiss Alps, with cowbells ringing on breathtaking ridges. After settling into a traditional village where locals scythe hay by hand, we hike and bike. We blast an alphorn, get sprayed by waterfalls raging deep inside a mountain, and munch muesli for breakfast at 10,000 feet. For a finale, we ride Europe’s highest lift up the mighty Jungfrau for hot cocoa, glacier sledding, and oh-wow views.

分集介绍

Portugal’s Heartland

Leaving Lisbon for the countryside, we eat barnacles in a salty old fishing town, march with pilgrims on the anniversary of a miracle, ponder the local Romeo and Juliet, sample university life, and rummage through the riches of Portugal’s Golden Age.

Paris: Grand and Intimate

After marveling at masterpieces in the Louvre and strolling the Champs- Elysees, we explore a delightful Parisian neighborhood. We meet a pipe organist, drop by a butcher shop, design our own perfume, and cruise the Seine.

South England: Dover to Land’s End

From the white cliffs of Dover to Land’s End, we ponder Roman, Norman, and Nazi invasions. After exploring Admiral Nelson’s flagship, we chase wild ponies across the moors and discover an ancient stone circle. For refreshment, it’s cream tea and Cornish pasties.

Heart of England and South Wales

After King Arthur country at Glastonbury, we go back in time to prehistoric Stonehenge. We sample hard apple cider in Wells, meet an eccentric lord in the Cotswolds, and visit an evocative ruined abbey in South Wales.

Caesar’s Rome

Rome welcomes the new millennium spiffed up as never before. We tour Rome’s ancient sights from the Forum and Colosseum to the glorious Pantheon. Then, after exploring the catacombs and a cat hospice, we track down the best ice cream in Rome.

Germany’s Black Forest and Cologne

Rick teams up with his wife and kids to enjoy the good life, dipping into a classy mineral spa, trying our luck at a fancy casino, devouring chocolate- cherry cake, and exploring Germany’s most romantic forest.

Scotland’s Islands and Highlands

In Scotland, legends of Bonnie Prince Charlie swirl with pipers and kilts around crumbling castles. After tossing a caber (log) at a Scottish clan gathering, we remember Highland massacres. We play hide-and-seek with the Loch Ness Monster, tour a whiskey distillery, and take a ferry to sacred Iona.

Surprising Bulgaria

Bulgaria is a time warp of old and new — from chic shops in the city to donkey cars in the country. We hike to a mountain monastery, meet two sculptors (dad does Stalin, son does nudes), and enjoy a traditional dinner feast at a local home.

Rome: Baroque, After Dark

After a pilgrimage to Michelangelo’s Pieta, we climb to the top of St. Peter’s Basilica. We seek out tucked-away Renaissance paintings and a cleverly-painted false dome. At the Borghese Gallery, it’s exquisite sculptures by the master of marble, Bernini. Then we join the locals on an after-dark stroll, lacing together Rome’s Baroque and bubbly nightspots.

Eastern Turkey

After a Mount Ararat sunrise, we visit Abraham’s 4000-year-old home town, tour one of the world’s biggest dams, cheer on grease wrestlers, meet the gods atop Mount Nemrut, and dance with new friends in a village.

London: Royal and Rambunctious

We whisper secrets across the dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral and eat our way through Soho. Then we check out the treasures of the new British Library, roll with the drums at the Changing of the Guard, and cruise the Thames to Kew Gardens.

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.

The Best of Sicily

Rick_Steves’_Europe_Season_1_screen1.jpg

After going fishing for anchovies off Cefalu, we land in rough-and-tumble Palermo. Marveling at the eerie skeletons in a Cappuccin crypt, airy mosaics of Monreale, enchanting ruins of Segesta, and the fiery rim of Mount Etna, we enjoy the best of Sicily.

剧情简介

本片在介绍玛旁雍错湖令人惊叹的绝色美景，和湖面上下珍贵的生物生态的同时，也记录了在严酷自然环境中，顽强生存的藏民生活。

在闪耀着白色光芒的喜马拉雅山的怀抱里，有一片尚未被人工染指的湖泊。湖面蔚蓝剔透，湖水深处居住着神灵的鱼。这座湖的名字叫玛旁雍错，藏语的意思是飞翔的蓝宝石。

在海拔五千米以上，它是世界上最大规模的湖，目睹海拔六千米以上群山环抱下的巨大湖泊的人，无不被它的气势所压倒。那里依然残存着，为适应高原生活而不长鱼鳞，人称裸鲤的大鱼、濒临灭绝危险的生物等保持着远古原状的大自然。

拍摄小组挑战世界首次海拔五千米以上的潜水摄影，试图解开神秘的湖中生态之谜。摄影组经过苦战后拍摄到的裸鲤产卵镜头，是具有珍贵学术价值的独家映像。

湖边有在世界最高处生活的藏人村落。氧气只有地面上的一半，寸木不长的海拔五千米，是人类能够生存的极限高度。

140人的村民靠牧羊为生。冬季湖面冻结。赶羊渡过结冰的湖面去吃牧草，是村子长年来的惯例。受地球暖化影响，结冰越来越薄，令村民烦恼。2000头绵羊，在村人的驱使下，正所谓如履薄冰地渡过银白色的湖面。

本片是海拔五千米的湖泊所创造的，天空上的世界的记录。

剧情简介

Two films by Christopher Nupen about the music and the artistic preoccupations of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

分集介绍

Women

The first part covers the period from the first tentative stirrings of Tchaikovsky’s musical talent to the composition of his opera Eugene Onegin and the failure of his marriage to Antonina Milyukova. It looks at the women who fired his musical imagination in the early years, from Katerina Kabanova in his first orchestral work, The Storm, to his dearly loved Tatyana in Onegin.

Fate

The second part explores the composer’s fascination with his own fate in the composition of Manfred and the last three symphonies. There are no featured actors, just singers, dancers, musicians and an anonymous storyteller, whose strikingly poetic words frequently come from Tchaikovsky himself.
