Kollwitzplatzmarkt

Prenzlauer Berg


On the edge of lovely and leafy Kollwitzplatz square, this posh farmers market has everything you need to put together a gourmet picnic or meal. Velvety gorgonzola, juniper-berry smoked ham, crusty sourdough bread and homemade pesto are among the exquisite morsels scooped up by well-heeled locals.

The Thursday edition is all-organic, while the Saturday market also features handicrafts. Locals love to cap a spree with a snack or a glass of wine right on the market or in one of the numerous surrounding cafes.
