Rick is just home from a month of guidebook research in Portugal and northern Germany — and from sardines to sauerkraut, he's eager to share his latest tips, tricks, and stories! Going beyond the great sights, this hotoutoftherucksack hour will focus on the little discoveries that inspire us to intimately connect with the cultures we're sampling. If a little Portugal (Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra, Tomar, and Nazaré) and Germany (Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, the Luther cities, and Rothenburg) sounds interesting, be sure to join Rick for his latest trip report. And for a fun bonus, he'll cap this special episode of MNT with a few stories and pictures from his family vacation: a sailing trip with his son Andy in the San Juan Islands, just north of Seattle. #ricksteves #mondaynighttravel
