| OPTIONS |
| From 5 star hotels with bathrooms ensuite, to cheap rooms with shared bathroom for 30€ a night in characterful old buildings. The best deals are apartments, many self-catering, in the heart of the old quarter. For example a twin bedded apartment can be 50€ a night (25€ per person), with an extra bed added for 10€ a night. There are also large houses 10–15 minutes walk away with attractive grounds and stunning views, as Sintra is built over several ravines. Please check whether breakfast is included, and whether there is air-conditioning. The nights are cooler than the day because of the breeze from the sea. |

| Districts of Sintra |
| Of the three quarters of Sintra, the old quarter, Vila Velha is closest to the rehearsal and concert venues, being c7 minutes walk away. Accommodation here can be in narrow, winding streets, sometimes with great views. It is strongly recommended that accommodation is booked in the old quarter, as the other districts are interesting to visit, but too far away to be practical for accommodation for the course. Estefânea is the modern quarter close to the railway station; this is the cheapest area. São Pedro is a former village where the twice-monthly market is held. |
