I've been to a good few flea markets in my time but this was above all the best!
They have EVERYTHING! Great selection of clothes, accessories, frames, keyrings, prints, collector items, puppet shows, bikes, necklaces, rings, cameras, Berlin wall replicas, new things, old things, wonderful food stalls!(try the yogurt stand, I had a type of cheesy yogurt which sounds not too nice but it was delicious!) can't think of the name of the stall, but if you see it, try it, you wont be disappointed!
You could spend the whole day there and not even see half the stalls! It's really big so you'd want to give yourself enough time to have a good perusal about the place! So get there in the morning!
The only downside is if it's hot, there really isn't much shade! As I experienced in 30+ degree heat! And it can get a bit overcrowded as alot of local people as well as the tourists are free to roam about on a Sunday there.
They also have there what's called the "Bearpit Karaoke Show", this takes place in the amphitheatre that's situated on the hillside just across from the park's basketball court.
Members of the audience are asked to sing a song, if the crowd think you're good they'll cheer for you, if not you'll booed all the way home, not for the faint hearted ;)
Thousands of people come to see this show every sunday, so get there early to find yourself a seat! :) -

Mauerpark (Wall Park) is a public park in Prezlauer Berg, Berlin, located along a section of where the Berlin Wall once stood.
Every Sunday brings the Flohmarkt am Mauerpark (Mauerpark Flea Market). From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., locals come seeking yet-to-be-discovered treasures. Mixed with the usual flea market digs - secondhand clothing, furniture, electronics, bikes, dishes and toys - visitors also find an eclectic offering of handmade goods, food stalls, live music and locally-produced food and drinks.
Come to the flea market hungry and sample as many food stalls as you can. Keep a look out for the waffles covered in apple sauce and cinnamon-sugar - they are splendid. You'll also find noodles, sandwiches, falafel, burgers, pasta and a range of other dishes. Wash it all down with a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice.
The flea market organizers offer up tables for €7 and tents for €33 (€30 if paid in advance) for locals hoping to sell their goods.
Local farmers bring in fresh foods and homemade treats. Seek out the Kaiser Honig honey stand, where you'll find unique honey flavors, such as Currant & Basil and Salty Peanut Disaster.
And don't go home without a bottle of Wilde Gärtnerei organic fruit juice, which is produced less than 20 miles outside of Berlin. Try the juice labeled "apfel sanddorn," which is apple and sea-buckthorn juice.
If you get overwhelmed by the flea market, check out the rest of Mauerpark, where you'll find musicians and performance artists entertaining enthusiastic crowds. The park is a great place for a Sunday picnic, complete with entertainment.
Follow the massive applauding to discover Bearpit Karaoke. Organized by Joe Hatchiban and held in the park's stone amphitheatre, this karaoke session is open on Sundays (3-8 p.m.) and draws thousands of Berliners looking to unleash their inner divas or just witness others making fools of themselves.
With plenty of entertainment, shopping and food options, Mauerpark is the perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon. -

As far as flea markets go, this place is epic. It's absolutely huge... you'll need a few hours if you want to see everything. It's very crowded on Sundays, but this is also supposedly the best place to go. You'll find a little bit of everything here... I ended up buying a coin purse, bike lock, and a BIKE. Totally wasn't expecting to leave with a bike, but started haggling with the owner and ended up getting a great deal on a very nice Bergamont. Definitely something you should experience while in Berlin.

The second i arrived there, there was a little kid screaming "GET THIS BIKE FOR 3 EUROS !!!"....funny and outlandish prices, but it got me alert for the whole thing.
The market is long and colorful enough for you to enjoy the experience.
At least 300 stands left and right, with rare old stuff, berlin-souvenirs, funny stuff ala "elctric dog jumping and barking"....and even DJ quipment can be found here.
Make sure to visit this place on a sunday, then take a break in the park and listen to some Karaoke.Listed in: Berlin's 5 Stars only.

Mauer Park is huge and full of bargains. If you're into vintage anything - from shoes, to records, furniture, clothes, there will be a stall full of it here. There is a nice mix of both curated stalls with handpicked items, to rows of junk boxes for those who rather have a root around and find their own treasures.
There is also a nice range of food - which is not vintage, it's very very fresh! Have a freshly roasted bratwurst with a dollop of mustard in a crispy roll, or stroll by the Turkish ladies busy at work handmaking delicious fresh savoury pastries and durum. There's freshly made ice-cream, juice, specialist coffees, dedicated licquorice stalls, homemade jam and seasonal fruit and veg - in other words, the best of everything.
There is also a burgeoning range of Berlin designers selling their own handmade pieces - lots of photography on offer, and graphic design t-shirts are especially a big hit.
Added bonus: the "Bearpit karaoke". Once you've plundered the market, have a sit down at the Bearpit along with the big crowd that gathers there (try and get a seat before the 3pm start time!) and enjoy heartwarming renditions of all the classics from unwitting volunteers - it's a unique experience and will probably change your mind about karaoke : ) -
Review from krys s.
the art of haggling, when two parry back and forth managing to arrive at a price which neither party to the transaction would consider it "robbery". when i want to truly enjoy these special moments, i'll either go to chinatown or a flea market. and mauerpark is an exceptional place to go watch the wonderfully frustrating dance between customer and salesperson.
you can buy handmade clothing, possibly stolen bikes, or even a vintage accordion for like 3 euros! they also had talking robots, delicious donners, and other random shit like ... KARAOKE! -

The South End open studios event in Boston just inspired me to review Berlin's recurring flea market.
There was a ton of random crap, way better than the random crap we here in America offer at yard sales: big tents, old clothes, dishware, and a couple 90210 novels. I used to have those as a kid but I tore out all the photos to make a collage. These copies didn't have photos either, so I didn't buy them.Listed in: ich bin berliner!
