As we reported earlier, this year’s Buhurt World Championship is being held in Visegrád, immediately following the Palace Games weekend, so – with a slight exaggeration – the knights didn’t even have to leave the Royal Palace. What’s more, a huge number of people joined them from all over the world.

Anyone can watch the duels – fought in full foot armour and governed by a strict set of rules – at the Royal Palace this week, from 16 to 20 July, for the price of an admission ticket, according to the following scheduled programme:
