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.

Trash - Schick

The big second hand department store of Humana tends to overs shadow Freidrichshain. Yes, it's worth a trip to Friedrichshain to visit it but, it's not the only store in the area for vintage lovers. It would be a pity to visit here and not make your way through the Boxhanger Platz area. Here you will find a number of smaller second hand and vintage shops like Trash-Schick.



We really like Trash-Schick, it's very Berlin. It has very well priced retro and second hand clothes mainly from the 70's - 90's,  street wear and with some wacky 80's Berlin items tucked away.

They also have some 20's and 30's accessories. There are some well priced gems to be found here. We picked up an 80's party frock for 20 euros, and left very happy, ready to hit the dance floor.

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).

Humana

Humana second hand stores have a number of outlets across Berlin. The biggest being the flagship store at Frankfurther Tor. Over five floors they stock clothes of every shape and size from mainly the 90's on wards. For the vintage lover it's best to start on the top floor. There you will find a wide range of retro and vintage from 50's - 80's.



The highlights for us were racks of GDR evening frocks, over sized 80's bedazzled knits, polyester suits and fake/real fur coats at low prices. Feeling festive? In winter they have racks of Norwegian jumpers available just in time for Christmas.

Everyone in Berlin shops here at one time or another, so make like the local and grab a bargain.

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!

Jumbo 2nd Hand

Shoes glorious shoes! This is why Berliners come to Jumbo Second hand.

As you can see from the photos they do have a huge selection. However, it's not all about the shoes. (really did we say that?!) This store is packed with second hand and retro clothes at really reasonable prices. You are bound to find something fantastic at a tiny price to go with the pair of shoes, you just had to have.



This store is perfect if you like to rummage and it's easy to spend an hour or more here and walk away with something fun.
