BY MICHELLE WELSCH
Whether encouraging travelers to take advantage of off-season deals or suggesting rooms at bed and breakfasts, travel guru Rick Steves dishes out advice to eager explorers.
On his blog, Rick Steves' Europe, Inc., Steves suggests that those interested in culinary tourism should skip out on breakfasts offered by hotels and head outside instead.

Tables and chairs along sidewalk streets offer the ideal viewpoint to watch passersby — perfect for glimpsing a day in the life of locals or kicking off a day of sightseeing.
