What to expect

Members of the Order of Saint George (Szent György) stage a spectacular 14th‑century-style tournament, showing how warriors vied for the king’s and queen’s favor in medieval Visegrád. At the start, the knights pick a king and queen from the audience, robe and crown them, then parade in to demonstrate marksmanship and combat skills with period weapons—realistic, thrilling, and often witty duels included. A royal hunting falcon takes flight to amp up the drama. At the end, guests can try medieval weapons with help from the knights. The show runs in Hungarian, German, English, and Italian; other languages are available with an interpreter. Groups of 30+ can book custom times.

Pros

Family-friendly medieval fun with audience participation (kids can be “royalty” and try safe versions of weapons)

Runs every Saturday at noon all year, so it’s easy to slot into a Danube Bend day trip

Multilingual show (Hungarian, German, English, Italian) makes it very accessible for U.S. visitors

Good value for a full program plus big feast for roughly $39 adults/$19 kids

Easy day trip from Budapest by car (about an hour) and doable by public transport via train+bus or boat in season

Visegrád is a scenic, castle-topped town on the Danube Bend—famous locally and a common add-on to Budapest itineraries

Comparable to Renaissance fairs or jousting dinners in the U.S., but with authentic sites (Solomon Tower) and Hungarian twist (falconry, local dishes) - Registration and payment only through the Renaissance Restaurant by email can feel clunky vs. instant online booking

Cons

–

Drinks at the feast aren’t included, so costs can creep up

–

Visegrád isn’t as internationally famous as Budapest or Prague, so some context may be needed for kids/first-timers

–

Public transport involves transfers and fixed schedules; driving or guided tours are simpler for most visitors
