Plaza Krakow (Beach in Krakow)

Plaza Krakow (Beach in Krakow) Overview

It’s one-of-a-kind in Poland – a beach that you can enjoy all year round, rain or shine, right in the centre of the city. Plaza Krakow (Krakow Beach) is a restaurant-bar, cafeteria, club, swimming pool, sports centre and beach all in one – and you can enjoy all it has to offer without even leaving the Old Town

Many beaches have beautiful vistas, but how many offer the view of a royal castle, exquisite architecture and bustling city streets above the calm ripples of a river? When it comes to the view and surroundings, this beach is hard to beat. Even if you’re not planning any beach activities during your stay, it’s worth coming here for the restaurant or café alone; or make use of the internet access and bring your work to the open air. Deck-like seating, on comfortable sofas around low coffee tables, makes this the perfect spot for an afternoon coffee or cocktail, summer or winter. The Kraków Plaza restaurant prides itself on its highly original selection, and the bar has been noted as one of the best in Kraków for high-quality liquors like cognac and champagne. Enjoy your late-evening meal with candlelight, fresh air and the music of a live band. And don’t forget there’s also a club where you can dance into the early hours of the morning.

There’s something for everyone at Plaza Krakow, and while sunbathing and splashing around are certainly summertime favourites, there’s much more to do here. In warmer months, take advantage of the sport courts as well as the swimming pool, get yourself a comfortable beach chair, order a cool drink, and relax in this small oasis just a hop away from the city hubbub. In wintertime, enjoy the beach’s exceptional views from the indoor seating area, with its full windows allowing you to gaze across the frozen river to the falling snow gathering on the castle towers.
