Kosice was the first European city to acquire its own coat of arms – on 7 May 1369. King Louis the Great of Hungary granted an armorial warrant to a city as a legal entity.

In the beginning of May the city lets its hair down for a celebration of the city day that involves nightly concerts in the square as well as food and beer stands, a medieval market, historical and knights’ parades, the annual reopening of the ZOO, the beginning of the summer season of our viewing tower and the children‘s railway – with the oldest steam engine “Katka”.
