Bratislava Coronation Days
Witness the coronations as they once looked like
Bratislava will cheer up again for three days with spectacular celebrations in honour of the recently crowned monarch. At the end of July, the next king of the Kingdom of Hungary will begin his reign in Pressburg.
The main program is a coronation procession of approximately 200 members in ornate historical costumes through the streets of Bratislava. This year we will commemorate the coronation of Leopold II. Slovak and Czech groups of historical fencing as well as historical theater and dance groups will be represented in the procession. You will see the king and queen, higher and lower nobility, church dignitaries as well as ordinary people. The procession will end at Hlavné námestie (Main Square), where you will be able to see historical theater and fencing performances.
In addition, our Tourist Information Center has prepared thematic free tours with a guide in Slovak, English, German, Hungarian and Ukrainian languages, for which it will be possible to register via bookio.
