The location has been chosen not by chance, as the World Championship in historical medieval battle, “Battle of the Nations”, is not only a sporting event but also the International Medieval Festival, where cultural and historical components are very important.

Petrin hill is unique as it is a park in the city centre that has historical buildings and people can simply walk to such attractions as the Strahov Monastery, Prague Castle, and they will have the most beautiful panoramic view on historic center of Prague. Proximity to the “heart” of the city means a wide range of hotels, which is also convenient for spectators and participants.
