Versailles and Louis XIV #ricksteveseurope

The granddaddy of European palaces is Versailles — King Louis XIV's 17th-century escape from Paris.

As a "divine monarch," he had to impress upon his people that God had really ordained him to rule without ...

Rick Steves' Europe on Instagram: "You probably won’t find Michelin star restaurants in our guidebooks. Instead, we look for restaurants that are Michelin guide restaurants, or “Bib Gourmand.” These establishments are usually less expensive and more casual while still providing quality food. To make your dollar stretch further when dining out, don’t be afraid to split plates. Ordering two appetizers and sharing a main course and dessert at a quality restaurant can be a more satisfying experience

Versailles offers three blockbuster sights. The main attraction is the palace itself, called the Château. Next come the expansive Gardens behind the palace, a landscaped wonderland crossed with footpaths and dotted with statues and fountains. Finally, at the far end of the Gardens, is the pastoral area called the Trianon Palaces and Domaine de Marie-Antoinette (a.k.a. Trianon/Domaine), a vast walled enclosure designed for frolicking blue bloods and featuring several small palaces and Marie’s Ham

Simply put, Hagia Sophia in Istanbul is one of the most magnificent, influential, historic, and revered buildings on Earth. For centuries, it served as the greatest church in Christendom. It was home to the Byzantine Emperor and Orthodox Patriarch (the “eastern pope”), and a beacon of civilization during Western Europe’s so-called “dark ages.” When Muslims conquered Constantinople, this great church suddenly became one of the world’s greatest mosques. And when it was secularized in the 20th cent
