Boxhagener Platz Flohmarkt





Boxhagner Platz is home to one of Berlin's most charming markets, in the heart of Friedrichshain. It is surrounded by charming cafes and bars. So start with brunch and then head over to the market.

You will find a lot of vinyl here, along with vintage furniture, some junk and a couple of good vintage clothes stalls.

It's smaller, has a local feel to it and is more charming that Mauerpark, but has a much smaller range of clothes. You can barter at this market, so come armed with cash.

While you are in the 'hood’ don't forget to check out The Raw Flohmarkt at Cassiopeiat. It's just down the road.

Arkon Platz Flohmarkt









Down the road from Mauerpark is this charming little flea market that should not be missed. Grab a coffee from one of the surrounding cafes and make your way from one quality stall to another.

This is a good market to go to for GDR home wear, vintage furniture and accessories. For the perfect flea market tour we recommend you start here and then head up to Mauerpark for lunch and drinks in the park.

Sing Blackbird







Head over to where Kreuzberg boarders Neuköllin ('Kreuzkölln') and you will find this gem of a vintage store and vegetarian cafe. It's easy to see why this charming place is one of our favourite vintage boutiques in Berlin.



Small and sweet, like the perfect cupcake, Sing Blackbird is a great place to while away an afternoon and soak up the vibes in this hip and emerging keiz (neighbourhood).



It really feels like this place is put together with love. As a bonus, you can also bring in old clothes and swap them or get a store credit. What's not to love?



Sing Blackbird put together vintage markets and other happenings, so keep an eye on their website for upcoming vintage events.

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).

Maurepark Flohmarkt








Mauerpark is Berlin's most popular and largest flea market ('flohmarkt'). Running along the former site of part of the Berlin wall, it's a great spot to hang out, shop and be seen.

It's all here - vintage clothes, vinyl, furniture, food, beers and even outdoor karaoke. Come and join the masses. It is better to visit the market in the warm weather. You can grab a beer, sit up on the hill and people watch into the evening. But don't let the cold put you off either. The market runs to capacity come rain or shine.

So, if you only have time to visit one flea market in Berlin, make it this one.

Prices are a little higher here and it's more crowded than other flea markets. However, it's worth it for the high volume vintage clothes, accessories and home wear you can find here. 


So, dive on in and have fun!
