Visegrád is gearing up for 2026 with its crowd-favorite medieval spectacle: a full-throttle knightly tournament paired with a royal feast, staged in one of Hungary’s most atmospheric historic settings. It runs every Saturday without fail, with extra dates sprinkled through the week on select occasions. If steel-on-steel duels, falcon flights, and indulgent banqueting are your thing, this is the Middle Ages brought to life—and you’re invited.
Epic Combat in the Solomon Tower (Salamon-torony)

How the Show Unfolds
Members of the Order of St. George revive the chivalric code with a high-energy tournament, competing for the favor of the king and queen—both chosen from the audience, robed in royal cloaks, and crowned before the action kicks off. At the king’s command, the knights enter and prove their aim and combat prowess with period weapons. The duels are thrilling and believable, spiced with moments of humor. A royal hunting falcon sweeps the sky to cap the atmosphere. At the finale, guests can try medieval weapons under knightly supervision. Dining at the Renaissance Restaurant (Renaissance Étterem) is available before or after the show.
