For three days, Bratislava will return in time to become Pressburg again, when wine was flowing in the fountains and streets were full of celebrations of the new monarch.
From 25 to 27 July 2025, Bratislava – the former coronation city of the Kingdom of Hungary – transforms into a vibrant stage of royal heritage. For one summer weekend, history comes alive in the streets, squares and courtyards of the Slovak capital.
