The roots of festivals -- Carnevale -- Holy week in Sevilla -- Easter in Greece -- April fair in Sevilla -- The Palio in Siena -- The Running of the Bulls in Pamplona -- Bastille Day in Paris -- Highland Games in Scotland -- Oktoberfest in Munich -- Christmas -- Travelers' Favorities -- About Rick Steves' European Festivals.
"There will be no museums! And no art galleries! Just Europeans having lots of fun. Across Europe, festival traditions go back centuries and are filled with time honored pageantry and ritual. Entire communities hurl themselves with abandon into the craziness. We'll careen all over Europe: the Palio horse races in Siena, the Highland games near Edinburgh, the colorful masquerade of Carnival in Venice, Slovenia, and Luzern, Easter festivities in AndalucĂa, Tuscany, and Greece, the springtime April Fair in Sevilla, Bastille Day in Paris, the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Oktoberfest in Munich, and Christmas markets and traditions in Nurnberg and Switzerland. With fascinating insights, rich history, and vivid photos, this great gift book captures the spirit of Europe's rich and fun-loving heritage. Hang on to your party hats!"--Publisher's description.
