Visegrád’s living-history town calls you back to the Middle Ages every Saturday this fall. Book early so you don’t miss one of the Danube Bend’s most exciting family programs. Organized by the Renaissance Restaurant, the Visegrád Knights’ Games hurl you into 14th-century pageantry and steel at the Palotaház (Palace House), with a guaranteed start every Saturday at noon.
Pageantry, duels, and a royal twist
Members of the Order of Saint George stage a spectacular tournament, showing how warriors once fought for the favor of the king and queen in medieval Visegrád. At the start, the knights pick a king and queen from the crowd, robe and crown them, then parade in at the monarch’s command to prove their aim and combat skills with period weapons. The duels are realistic, exciting, and sprinkled with humor, evoking knightly courage and recklessness. A royal hunting falcon takes flight to brighten the show, and at the end guests can try medieval weapons with the knights’ help.
