March 31: Jubilee Rome with Francesca Caruso

6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET | REGISTER

Eternally engaging Rome is under an even brighter spotlight during the 2025 Jubilee, and beloved guide and Rome expert Francesca Caruso joins us to share how smart travelers can enjoy the best of both worlds in Rome this year — joining in Jubilee jubilations while also dodging crowds to indulge in Rome's everyday wonders. To start, Francesca catches us up on what the Jubilee is and how the city plans to celebrate. She then guides us beyond the Jubilee fanfare to lesser-known sights that pack cultural punches and leads us down time-warp streets for a potent taste of local Roman life.

April 7: Watch with Jody van Engelsdorp Gastelaars — Bruges and Brussels

6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET | REGISTER

Belgium is home to master painters, the seat of the European Union, and the world's tastiest chocolate. In this watch-along with guide Jody van Engelsdorp Gastelaars, we revisit these Belgian delights and more in Rick's TV episode, "Belgium: Bruges and Brussels" from 2004. Together, we cycle along canals, climb a bell tower to get up close and fortissimo at a carillon concert, savor the exquisite art of Hans Memling, and get swept up in Magritte's surreal dreamscapes. Along the way, Jody shares how these two Belgian cities have evolved over the past two decades.
