Departing from the guidebook format, Steves tells his story through Europe's people, often comparing a Europe he first came to know two decades ago with the one he sees today, a continent in flux.

Steves's enthusiasm for Europe races throughout his narrative as he travels to Amsterdam, the Rhine, Rothenburg, Munich, Venice, Florence, Rome, the Italian Riviera, the Swiss Alps, and Paris. In vivid and spirited vignettes, Steves meets a "Gen-X kid with two holes in his body for each one in mine" in a Dutch head shop, a German woman enraged about memories of World War II en route to Dachau's concentration camp, and a friendly priest at St. Peter's basilica.
