About this event
For three days Bratislava rewinds to Prešporok, the coronation city of the Hungarian kingdom. This year the crowned monarch is Maria Theresa. Expect a jousting tournament on the Danube embankment, falconers, drummers, flag-wavers and period dancers, then a costumed coronation procession winding down from the castle to Main Square for the ceremony itself, followed by a Sunday of fencing shows and puppet theatre for families.
Why we picked it
The single biggest free open-air spectacle in Bratislava during the priority week — a full costumed coronation procession through the Old Town, highly visual and family-friendly.
Free entry
The outdoor street, castle-courtyard and Main Square programme is free to attend. Themed guided city tours, the SNM Historical Museum exhibitions on the castle and the cocoa tasting are separate and ticketed.
Registration
Registration needed
None for the outdoor programme; the themed guided city walks are separately ticketed and must be booked in advance
