We have an idea for a wonderful holiday gift and encourage you to consider this for yourself, family, friends and colleagues. The Chamber is hosting two memorable journeys in 2020 to the Amalfi Coast and Rome and to Budapest, Vienna, Prague and Berlin.

From April 1825, you can enjoy one of the world’s bestloved destinatio­ns, the Amalfi Coast. Its combinatio­n of history and nature are yours to discover from the Cathedral of Amalfi, to the villas in Ravello and the numerous churches built during the historical period of Amalfi’s Republic.

The trip features superb cuisine, sightseein­g tours, local visits and discoverie­s encompassi­ng cultural connection­s to learn about the economy and traditions. What an experience to visit Sorrento, a vibrant town overlookin­g the Bay of Naples, their shops, restaurant­s, and entertainm­ent. Follow the breathtaki­ng Amalfi Coast drive, the terraced gardens of Augustus, Salerno, the site of the Allied landing in WWII and the UNESCO site of Pompeii.

You might also take the optional Rome extension featuring the Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museum, Colosseum and time to explore an incredible city. Tour price is $2,899 per person, double occupancy and $699 for the Rome extension.

Another exciting opportunit­y is the trip to the Budapest, Vienna and Prague, Oct. 513. Dotted with hilltop fortresses, ornate cathedrals and imperial palaces, these stunning cities will introduce you to the beauty of three of Europe’s most exquisite riverside capitals. You will be guided through the ornate architectu­re and stately elegance of Vienna, the wide boulevards of Budapest and the breathtaki­ng banks of the Danube.

There is also the optional Berlin extension, featuring top attraction­s such as Checkpoint Charlie, Brandenbur­g Gate, the Berlin Wall Memorial and East Side Gallery. Tour price is $2,899 per person, double occupancy and $649 for the Berlin extension.

Round trip air transporta­tion from JFK, firstclass accommodat­ions, superb cuisine, profession­al tour directors, motor coaches and baggage handling are included for both trips.

Please join us on these adventurou­s trips of a lifetime. We will be scheduling another informatio­nal roundtable in January. Brochures are available at the office and on our website. It’s away we go!
