Product Review
This neat little book gives you enough practical knowledge of European art history to make your trip to the great museums and churches a lot more enjoyable. It connects yesterday's Europe with today's sights -- art, museums, buildings, and people. An essential tool for any traveler's backpack or suitcase.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Rick Steves' Europe 101 (Europe 101: History and Art for the Traveler (Rick Steves)) (Paperback)
As a first-time traveler to Italy, it was important to me to find information that to make this trip even more meaningful. I found it in this book. Wish I had this as my textbook for both European History and Humanities. This book allowed me to fully comprehend, appreciate and wonder at the significance of the architectural, engineering, cultural and art contributions of Europe to the world. Even my sister who is a seasoned traveler to Europe found this book thoroughly educational as well as entertaining. BRAVO! I will go to Europe again next year, and will take Rick's book on the best Europe has to offer. Thank you.
