Every Saturday, Visegrád throws it back to the 14th century with a live knight tournament at Solomon Tower (Salamon-torony) and a royal banquet at the Renaissance Restaurant. The Order of Saint George (Szent György-rend) brings the spectacle: clashing steel, daring duels, and a dash of humor, all staged for a freshly “crowned” king and queen chosen from the audience and dressed in royal cloaks before the show begins.
Knights march in at the king’s call, then show off precision and combat skills with authentic medieval weapons, honoring the brave and the reckless of old. A royal hunting hawk takes to the sky mid-show for extra drama. At the finale, guests can handle and try out the weapons with the knights’ guidance. Dining at the Renaissance Restaurant is available before or after the performance.
