Every Saturday this season, Visegrád turns back the centuries with a one-of-a-kind medieval experience: a knights’ tournament at Solomon Tower (Salamon-torony), followed by a lavish royal feast at the Renaissance Restaurant. The Order of Saint George (Szent György Lovagrend) stages a full-blooded 14th-century spectacle, showing 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 and crown them, then march in on royal command to prove their skills with authentic weapons in target contests and duels—realistic, thrilling, and sometimes cheeky. A royal hunting falcon also takes flight during the show. At the end, guests can try the medieval weapons with the knights’ help.
