Market shopping in Berlin

  1. A

    Türkenmarkt

    Berlin goes Bosporus during this lively canalside farmers market where you can stock up on olives, feta spreads, loaves of fresh bread and mountains of fruit and vegetables, all at bargain prices. Grab your loot and head west along the canal to carve out your picnic spot in the little park by the Urbanhafen.

  2. Trödelmarkt

    Lying low in this quiet Berlin suburb, this tidy assortment of clothes, homewares, books, videos, CDs and knick-knacks is generally better displayed and maintained than at other less-subdued Berlin markets. Not a bad spot for finding preloved (but well-kept) designer labels and lovely paste jewellery.

    Flohmarkt Schöneberg

    Pro and amateur vendors mix it up at this neighbourhood market, where bargaining skills are easily honed. It’s not the trendiest of markets, but it’s fun to ricochet between here and the food market on Winterfeldtplatz on Saturdays. Savvy punters show up early for the best finds.

    Antikmarkt Am Ostbahnhof

    Plunge onto a cheerful line of antiques and collectibles (such as old coins and banknotes, Cold War relics, gramophone vinyl, books, stamps and jewellery). Snack vendors stand by to assuage hunger pangs.

    Flohmarkt Strasse des 17 Juni

    West of the Tiergarten S-Bahn station, this big market is a tourist favourite, making bargains as rare as tulips in Tonga. Come here for Berlin memorabilia, stuff from granny's closet and jewellery.

    Flohmarkt am Arkonaplatz

    Easily combined with the Mauerpark flea market, this one feeds the retro frenzy with plenty of groovy furniture, accessories, clothing, vinyl and books, including plenty of GDR memorabilia.

    Kollwitzplatzmarkt

    Velvety gorgonzola, juniper- berry-smoked ham, crusty sourdough bread and all manner of organic produce are the kinds of exquisite morsels scooped up by locals at this posh market.

    Winterfeldtmarkt

    Spending Saturdays at this upscale farmers and crafts market is a ritual for many Berliners. Do as they do and cap off a spree with coffee or breakfast in a nearby cafe.

    Flohmarkt am Boxhagener Platz

    There are few too many pros, but that just means you'll have to dig a little harder for the cool finds. On the plus side: prices are rock bottom.
