    How I long for Europe. Far away in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 West Africa, I have been traveling in Europe with Rick Steves from my bed since I was 9 years old. I am now 19 years old and my biggest wish is to be there in person one day. How I wish I was born in Europe and I am sure I would never spend a day without joy. My love for Europe developed when I started watching movies that depict the middle ages of the Continent. I am currently learning German 🇩🇪 and French 🇫🇷 hoping 🙏 that I could get I job that could make my dream of visiting my far away darling. To all the Europeans, please 🙏 take good care of the continent, love each other, and preserve the most beautiful culture of all time. Long Live Europe and Its Culture.

    2024 hi everyone.
    I fell in love to this channel around 2017 or 2018 when I was in my lowest point of life. Now I'm trying to gain my life back and I'm still here watching his videos over and over.
    Not because I want to travel to the places featured here but I like to watch the videos he did. Idk, I also like the way he speaks and the way the whole video is. It's calm and relaxing at the same time tranquil and exciting. Knowledgeable too.

    This video is from 2006, so before the crisis, from that year many things changed.
    In the last years we built new beautiful skyscrapers and we renovated many parts of the city, not only the old town, and some of the 60 ancient farmhouse out of the city with a respectful design.
    In terms of mobility we can be proud about our new electric car and bike sharing system that, integrated with an always better public transportation system, could really stop our bad habit to use private car.
    We also understood that we have to open our great private gardens.
    In the last year, thanks to expo and all the investments made for it, i've really seen Milan as an European Capital and I hope we will restart to attract talents from abroad.
    We are on the right way. Bella Milano

    Lovely! In summer 2017, we stayed at a family-run Airbnb across the lake from Varenna in Menaggio. While there, we visited Varenna & nearby Bellagio (all gorgeous), along with excursions by high-speed train from Milano to Venezia, and by rental car to Recco, Camogli, St Margherita, & Portofino. Rick is right - Varenna is beautiful and peaceful. The best side trip on Lago di Como was taking a tour of Villa del Balbianello, arriving by charter boat. It's extraordinary, really just beyond belief. After this crazy COVID era passes, if you get a chance, visit the villa and others around the lake. The people and sights are wonderful!

      @alis1637 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Both Milan and Lake Como were great.
      Milan was surprisingly fantastic and was a dark horse - good food, nice people, efficiently run, good metro. The buildings themselves were a bit older and less precisely kept (unless you were in the Quadrilateral area which looks amazing). I didn't feel unsafe at all. It was a welcome change to Paris, which felt unsafe and underwhelming.
      Lake Como however was not as good as expected, but still pretty good. Managed to get to Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio and Villa del Balbianello in one day with some good planning. The scenery was fantastic, but it felt a bit touristy. Food was decent. Might be worth staying a few nights if you would like to relax. I agree with Rick, Varenna was the best town. Bellagio was ok but too touristy, Menaggio was too sleepy, and Villa del Balbianello was alright, but wasn't as good as expected.
      In both places, note that the pollution and haze levels were quite high, because of the mountains trapping in the polluted air. So keep that in mind.

    It was during my honeymoon, in December 2001, that I first visited Italy, and Milan. Italy is a very particular country, where everybody - and I mean absolutely everybody, including street sweepers with their fashionable uniforms - is well dressed. It combines ridiculous labour customs (the staff of a bank was on strike, and so was the ATM) with imaginative solutions to practical problems, such as "how do I deal with a wardrobe at an exhibition that can hold 10 coats at the most". The Italians solved it, very elegantly, and very well dressed.
    Milan is a sometimes strange place. There's some seriously dodgy architecture to be found, sometimes not very far from the beautiful grand buildings. And then there's the Duomo, which is unbelievable. I love Gothic architecture, especially on cathedrals such as the ones of Cologne, Paris and Florence, but the one in Milan is a giant fractal made of white marble.
    Would I go back there? I don't know. The biggest disadvantage of Italy, if you could name it that, is that it's an incredibly beautiful country. There *is* a reason why it has the most Unesco World Heritage sites. There's so much to see, and I've seen so little of it. Milan has to compete with Rome, Florence, Venice, Pisa, Siena... the list is sheer endless.

    One correction: not all arias were tied to the independence of Italy. It was the "Va Pensiero", the Hebrew slaves chorus (from the Nabucco opera) that impacted the Italians so much that they tied it to Verdi and the future king Vittorio Emanuele. They had VERDI mean Vittorio Emanuele Re D'Italia. The initials were composed to support Vittorio Emanuele's rise to kingdom.
