Rathaus Schöneberg Flohmarkt




This weekly flea market is set on the famous square where JFK announced he was a Berliner donut ("Ich bin ein Berliner"). It's full of locals and has a mix of vintage clothes, furniture, nick knacks and the obligatory Berlin junk stalls. Need a broken drill, anyone?

Worth a visit if you like to rummage and want to avoid the tourists at Mauerpark. Make sure you barter.

Local tip: While in the neighbourhood pop over to Mimi's vintage boutique (Goltz Str. 5, 10781 Berlin. Closed Sunday)  and Winterfeldt Platz food market (Saturdays only).
