Visegrád’s most thrilling family outing is back all autumn long, every Saturday. Book early and time-travel to the Middle Ages with the Renaissance Restaurant’s Visegrád Knights’ Games, a lively blend of pageantry, duels, and a feast fit for a king.
Be Crowned for a Day
Members of the Order of Saint George stage a spectacular 14th-century tournament, reenacting how warriors fought for the favor of the king and queen in medieval Visegrád. At the start, the knights pick a king and queen from the audience, robe them in royal cloaks, and crown them. At the king’s command, the armored contenders parade in and show off their marksmanship and dueling skills before the royal couple and guests.
Steel, Humor, and a Hunting Hawk
The one-on-one clashes are vivid, exciting, and often cheekily humorous, celebrating the bravery and audacity of medieval knights. A royal hunting hawk’s flight adds extra flair. At the finale, guests can try authentic medieval weapons under the knights’ guidance.
