Berlin, flea market: addresses, working hours, reviews

The capital of Germany often gives tourists a reason to visit it from all over the world and take back not only impressions, but also some unusual souvenir. There are numerous festivals, for example, Oktoberfest, which one gathers millions of people.

Experienced travelers know that the best souvenirs are sold not on the central avenues in the "gingerbread" shops, which are full of Berlin. Flea market is a source of real "treasure", where you can find not only really ancient and unique things, but also works of modern hand-made masters.

Flea market Mauerpark

In total in the German capital there are about 50 small and large flea markets, some of which work on an ongoing basis, others - in a certain season.

One of the most visited by residents and guests of the capital is the Mauerpark, formed on the site of the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Today people of any age like to relax in this park, street musicians and professional musicians perform, and since 2004 a new flea market has appeared in Berlin (address Bernauer Strasse 63-64, 10434 Berlin).

From the assortment, you can pick up antique things and different kinds of furniture, as well as clothes from beginner designers. Here come customers who are looking for decoration accessories, or mods who want to get a stylish little thing at a low price. On the other hand, every creative nature can rent a place in advance and put up for sale their work, which is what many students do, making money in this way.

Since the park is also a resting place, after visiting the market you can sit in one of the many cafes and have a beer with very cheap but incredibly tasty snacks. Also, it is allowed to lie down under the tree nearest to the improvised stage and listen to the concert.

This bazaar is open every Sunday from 7 am to 5 pm.
