Markets are everywhere in Berlin. Whether you are looking for fresh fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, desserts, clothing, accessories, art or home furnishings, there is a unique market for everyone! Visiting different markets has been one of my favourite things to do since moving to Berlin (supporting local businesses is a big plus!) and it is a great way to spend an afternoon in the city. I enjoy the busy and fun atmosphere of markets, and I feel like I’m part of the community when roaming around the different stalls.
Luckily, you don’t have to go far to find a market since there is one right outside the DeutschAkademie school at Wittenbergplatz! It’s called Wochenmarkt am Wittenbergplatz. There are some great fresh food vendors selling everything from cheese, meat, desserts, bread, fruit and vegetables, as well as vendors that sell small accessories and flowers. I recently bought a new hat there! The best part of this market is the vendors selling prepared meals for lunch!

My lunch last week! A fried zucchini cake with couscous.
Another market that I went to this past Sunday with my husband and his parents was a breakfast market in Kreuzberg at Markthalle Neun (Eisenbahnstraße 42/43). It is held every third Sunday of the month from 10-18:00. I had a delicious bacon breakfast sandwich and a brownie.
I can’t wait for the Christmas markets in Berlin!
