Flea Markets
A great way to spend a Sunday morning in Berlin before heading off to enjoy brunch in one of the nearby cafes, is a stroll through Berlin’s bustling f lea markets. Most offer a colourful mix of second hand books, clothing, records, furniture and brica-brac. What’s unique about Berlin’s f lea markets is the selection of GDR memorabilia, remains from the Berlin wall as well as Russian icons. For the best markets visit Flea Market Mauerpark (below) located next to the remains of the Berlin Wall or Tiergarten f lea market, which is the biggest and busiest market located in Tiergarten on the Strasse 17th Juni, near to the Siegessäule (Victory column).
