Paris is a world-class city — but also one that to millions is simply home. In this new episode of Rick Steves' Europe, we're going local.

While time with a private guide usually doesn’t come cheap, it’s easily one of the best ways to maximize the experiences at the heart of your trip: gaining some understanding of a different culture, discovering what’s fascinating about a destination’s sights, and maybe finding a personal connection with a person or people who might otherwise seem “foreign.” Hiring a local guide for a personalized city tour is basically like renting a friend who happens to be an expert at the kind of information

Paris — the City of Light — is a magical city to visit any time of year. But visiting now, after the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, offers a unique experience. The Olympic rings remain on the Eiffel Tower, and sparking some controversy, will remain indefinitely according to Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. Planning a trip to the iconic tower? Sure, it's crowded and expensive, and other spots in Paris offer (arguably) better views. But once you make the eye-popping ascent — and ear-popping descen

Europe’s electrical system is different from America’s, both in voltage and plug shape. So, what adapter is best for you? Here are some tips for plugging into Europe. American appliances run on 110 volts, while European ones take 220. Most common gadgets like phones and laptops are “dual voltage,” which means they work on either current. If you see a range printed on your device (like “110-220”), you’re OK — but you’ll need an adapter to fit European outlets. British and Irish outlets are Type G

Travelers searching for a French thrill far from the museums of Paris and seaside promenades of the Riviera – far from any city center, in fact – should consider a kayak excursion under the massive Pont du Gard aqueduct. Monday Night Travel host Gabe Gunnink made the paddle this July and was impressed by the lively mix of ancient glory and modern summer fun — gliding beneath the largest arch from antiquity felt less like witnessing history, and more like floating through a local beach day.

Restaurant tips are more modest in Europe than in America. Servers are paid a living wage, and tips are considered a small bonus — to reward great service or for simplicity in rounding the total bill to a convenient number. In many countries, 5 percent is adequate and 10 percent is considered a nice tip. Locals just leave coins on the table, round up, or often don’t tip at all. Resist the urge to tip American-style. If your bucks talk at home, muzzle them on your travels. As a matter of principl
