description: Rick Steves doesn't just list where to travel in Europe, he leads travelers through the "Back Door," and reveals how to give every journey an extra, more authentic dimension. He shows travelers how to delve into European culture, make friends with the locals, and experience each region's natural wonders -- economically and hassle free. Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door 2003 includes itinerary planning, what form of transportation is best for you, sleeping and eating cheap, packing light, doing laundry, how to avoid theft and rip-offs, travel photography, communicating in a language you don't understand, using the phones for local and long-distance calls, keeping healthy while traveling, and advice for women traveling alone. Rick also provides information on his 40 Back Doors, so you can put everything you've learned into action! "It's Rick Steves again, that one-man Euro-dynamo." -- Chicago Tribune
