Every Saturday, Visegrád throws it back to the 14th century with a crowd-pleasing knights’ tournament at Salamon Tower and a royal banquet at the Renaissance Restaurant. The St. George Knightly Order stages a dazzling combat show where warriors vie for the king’s and queen’s favor—roles chosen from the audience, dressed in regal cloaks, and crowned on the spot.
At the king’s command, armored knights parade in and put their marksmanship and dueling skills to the test with authentic medieval weapons. The bouts are realistic, gripping, and often laced with humor, channeling the bravery and audacity of medieval chivalry. A royal hunting hawk takes flight to add extra spectacle. At the end, guests can handle and try period weapons with the knights’ guidance. Before or after the show, there’s an optional meal at the Renaissance Restaurant.
