What Awaits You
Moments You'll Never Forget
From the capital's grand monasteries to clifftop coastlines and medieval walled villages, here's a taste of the Portugal you'll discover.
Queens Chamber of Commerce Presents
Ten golden days through Lisbon, Évora, the Algarve & the Portuguese Riviera, explored together as neighbors and friends.
August 31 to September 9, 2027
Open to all of Queens, but seats are limited and filling fast
This is the Queens Chamber community on the road: neighbors, members, and friends sharing one unforgettable journey. You'll come home with new stories, new friendships, and a few thousand photos.
Explore alongside fellow Queens Chamber members and neighbors. Shared dinners, shared discoveries, and the kind of bonds that only form when you experience something extraordinary together.
Whitewashed villages, golden Algarve cliffs, azulejo-tiled streets, and long, sun-drenched days. We travel in early September, when Portugal glows with warm light and the summer crowds have eased.
Round-trip airfare, handpicked hotels, expert guides, and the details all taken care of by Collette and Blue Ribbon Travel. You simply show up and enjoy the ride.

Yes! Round-trip airfare from New York is included in the $5,349 price, along with all air taxes, fees, and round-trip airport-to-hotel transfers. Prefer to fly in style? Premium Economy and Business Class upgrades are available.
Not at all. This trip is open to members, their families, and friends. It's a wonderful way to travel with people from your own community, and to make new friends along the way.
It's a Level 2 (moderate) tour with a balanced, relaxed pace. You'll walk two to three miles over the course of some days, on a variety of terrain including cobblestone streets. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended, and there's plenty of free time built in to recharge.
Just about perfect. Early September is one of the loveliest times to experience Portugal, with warm, sunny days typically in the 70s and 80s Fahrenheit, comfortable evenings, and very little rain. The intense summer heat and the heaviest crowds have eased by then, so you get glorious weather and a more relaxed pace at every stop, from the streets of Lisbon to the beaches of the Algarve.
Solo travelers are very welcome. Many people on these trips travel on their own and leave with lasting friendships. A single room is available at $6,449. Single accommodations are limited, so early registration is recommended.
Yes. Two optional extensions are available: a 3-night pre-tour to Tomar, Nazaré & Fátima, and a 4-night post-tour to beautiful Madeira Island. Details will be covered on the Zoom presentation, or you can view them on the official Collette trip page.
