Radetzky

The steamship Radetzky stands on the Danube riverbank, displaying authentic naval architecture with its 56-meter-long metal structure and period-specific design elements.

Constructed in Budapest in 1851, the original Austro-Hungarian passenger ship carried revolutionary Hristo Botev and his fighters across the Danube in May 1876.

The vessel forms part of the 100 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria program, representing a key moment in the Bulgarian struggle for independence from Ottoman rule.

The museum exposition, located in the first-class section, opens daily from 9:00 to 18:00 with separate admission fees for students and regular visitors.

The current Radetzky, rebuilt in 1966 through donations from 1.2 million Bulgarian children, stands as the single floating museum ship in the Balkan region.
