Picturesque location:
in the heart of Krakow

Barka Arkadia is moored in the very center of the Old Town in Krakow, on the banks of the Vistula River, at the foot of Wawel Castle. It is not only an ideal place to rest after a long walk, but also an excellent base for exploring the city's most important landmarks.

Intimate haven:
a quiet retreat amidst the crowd

Although Barka Arkadia is moored in a tourist location, in our restaurant you can escape the crowds and find peace from the city bustle on one of two spacious decks. We provide a tranquil enclave within walking distance of Krakow's greatest attractions, as well as an intimate atmosphere—perfect for a date, family dinner, or gathering with friends.

Two decks:
for every season

Our restaurant on the Vistula stands out for its generous space—Arkadia features two decks available to guests. The large space not only allows you to enjoy peace and quiet, but also adapts to the seasonal needs of our customers. In summer, enjoy the sun on the upper deck; in winter, warm up with winter tea in the comfort of the lower deck.
