Step into a living slice of the Middle Ages in Visegrád in 2026, where armored champions clash, falcons wheel overhead, and a royal feast seals the day. Hungary’s most beloved medieval program is back every Saturday, with extra dates on select weekdays, blending immersive showmanship at the Solomon Tower (Salamon-torony) with a lavish banquet at the Renaissance Restaurant (Renaissance Étterem). Bring family, friends, or the whole office—this is the one medieval experience in Hungary you’ll still be talking about months later.
Spectacle at the Solomon Tower (Salamon-torony)
In the dramatic, stone-walled setting of the Solomon Tower, the clang of steel and the thrill of knightly duels come roaring back to life. Expect armored warriors, historically faithful combat, and a panoramic backdrop that transforms the performance into true time travel. It’s not just a tourist draw—it’s a full-blooded medieval revival with energy for all ages.
Royal Feast at the Renaissance Restaurant (Renaissance Étterem)
After the tournament, the Renaissance Restaurant serves a royal banquet in authentically styled rooms, with generous platters based on traditional recipes and period-inspired service. It’s a crowd-pleaser for families, friend groups, corporate team-building, and milestone celebrations. The banquet can be booked before or after the show, and admission for children under 3 is free.

How the Tournament Unfolds
Members of the Order of Saint George (Szent György Lovagrend) face off in a stirring 14th-century Visegrád-style contest for the favor of the king and queen. They first crown a king and queen from the audience, capes and all. At the king’s summons, the knights march in and show off precision and combat prowess with medieval weapons. The duels are thrilling and believable, with flashes of humor that humanize the bravado of old. A royal hunting falcon takes flight to enliven the show, and at the finale guests can try out the weapons with the knights’ help.
