Visegrád is throwing open the gates to the Middle Ages in 2026 with the Knights’ Games and Feast, a rousing family favorite running every Saturday at noon in the fall. Book early if you want in—this is one of the Danube Bend’s liveliest crowd-pleasers. The Renaissance Restaurant is your time machine: step in, and you’re back in the 14th century.
Where and when
Guaranteed dates: every Saturday at 12:00. Venue: Palace House (Palotaház), Visegrád, Duna-parti út 1. The program also includes the Solomon Tower (Salamon-torony) for a historical introduction and a rooftop visit.
Knights, crowns, and falcons
Members of the Order of Saint George stage a spectacle of knightly tournaments, recreating how warriors once fought for the king’s and queen’s favor in medieval Visegrád. It kicks off by choosing a king and queen from the audience, who are cloaked and crowned before summoning the knights. Expect archery, combat drills, and duels performed with realism, thrills, and a dash of humor. A royal hunting falcon takes flight to top it off. At the end, guests can try medieval weapons under the knights’ guidance.
