Festival de Sintra

Fodor's Review:

Festival de Sintra, the Sintra music and dance festival, takes place during June and July at the Centro Cultural Olga Cadaval as well as in the many palaces and gardens around Sintra and Queluz: Palácio Nacional de Sintra, Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Quinta da Piedade, Palácio de Seteais, and Queluz Palace. The Gulbenkian Symphony Orchestra and the Gulbenkian Ballet company as well as other international groups perform at the Olga Cadaval Cultural Center. The gardens of the Seteais Palace are well known for their open-air ballet and classical music performances. Tickets can be reserved and bought at the Olga de Cadaval Cultural Centre or at any Fnac store (there is one in the Cascais shopping mall) as well as the Lisbon Welcome Center. Programs are sometimes distributed at the arrivals area at the Lisbon airport.
