Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Guide | Nestled inside its mighty ramparts is Dubrovnik, the “Pearl of the Adriatic.” From this remarkably preserved medieval fortress …
I'd like the point out that one of the paintings inside the island church on the Bay of Kotor read "Citta di Durazzo" (City of Durazzo, or Qyteti i Durresit, Albania). By contrast, Rick's intro map went the length of spelling out the names for some of the better internationally known surrounding countries he did not visit (i.e., Macedonia, Italy), while (selectively, perhaps, typical of a postcolonial move?) chose to leave Albania unnamed, as an empty glob historically either ignored or shaped and molded by the influence of foreign nations. I normally love Rick Steves's tone and videos, but this erasure, despite most likely unintentional and mindless, does not sit well me at all.
In America – Really? Don't you mean in the United States?
23:54 – Placebo!
Been there. It’s all fantastic history.

21:21 You're right, I really like travelling, too, I want to visit these places
To bad Cameron is not totally educated in that regions true history and who Tito really was. Tito and communism were not a peaceful combination.
Mm
Another excellent video from Rick. Hard to believe it was made 10 years ago.
Ovi Muslimani se ponasaju kao francuske sobarice. Samo su oni zrtve i niko vise.
Kosovo is a partially recognized state so there are no 7 states.
They should build a tunnel to get past those mountains…and it possible today with the technology available.
Are you going to visit Serbia?
Dubroovnik… known on HBO as King's Landing
Could one time journalists from anywhere avoid story about war and talk about beauty of this part of Europe?!
War in ex YU — Clinton's administration work of art., an unforgiven venture.,
I love your videos, but these one about traveling ex Yugoslavia you failed it Big Time talking about the war all the time. The war is over for 30 years now my friend !
Kotor came out directly from the Lord of the Rings. I don't think Tolkien could have seen it; much of his original inspiration were in place like Ireland and Switzerland; impressive.
Bbb
Western Europe gets all the spotlight and attention but I have really enjoyed seeing and learning about Eastern Europe. Just as historical if not more and amazing to see.
11.32 to 11.34 that was awesome
Sensitively done. Reconciliation would be a Godsend to these people.
Yugoslavia is best country.
It's inaccurate to claim that war was inevitable. People of different persuasions got on just fine for centuries, or at least no worse than anywhere else.
Western meddling was the only real cause of the war in this region. There may have been certain tensions. But they could never have got anywhere without external pressure and funding.
good video
Still not even 20 years ago that all of this happened. I tried to picture myself in her place as she talked about what it was like to live and die in the very street they walked down. So sad! Such a beautiful piece of the world though and I am so glad they are living peacefully and rebuilding. I would so love to visit there on day! I'm in the United States and long to visit Europe!
