I’ve always known Rick Steves had a million guide books to his name but I discovered recently that he also has a line of luggage. The line has recently expanded from backpacks to include rolling suitcases that the company claims are every bit as practical as the backpack.
The 21-inch Roll-Aboard bag is a big departure away from packs that can be carried on your back. This is a really light bag with a lot of space. The compartments can be expanded, although it is only suitable for carrying as hand luggage when it’s in the unexpanded state.
If you’re traveling independently and will need to get around on public transportation or do quite a bit of walking, I still think a backpack is the only way to go. But perhaps if you’ve got transfers to hotels arranged and aren’t moving around too much between destinations, something like this Rick Steves bag might also do the trick.
