Bunkier, on plac Szczepański in Kraków’s Old Town, pairs contemporary art exhibitions with a modernist concrete pavilion. Shows range from thought-provoking work to more accessible displays, so the visit changes with the programme. The gallery spans several storeys, with lift access, and takes about an hour to explore. Look out for views of Planty Gardens, then stop at the adjacent coffee place for a quieter break. It suits visitors curious about current art and the building itself; those seeking a large collection may find the galleries compact.
