Mauerpark
Mauerpark is a long narrow park renowned locally for its huge Sunday flea market and live entertainment, a tradition that draws 1000s of locals every Sunday.
The atmosphere is very lively and family-friendly.
Similar to Nordbahnhof Park, Mauerpark developed inside the space between two sections of the former Berlin Wall, a dreadful space where attempting to cross meant almost certain death. The park opened in 1994 on the 5th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
An 800 metre section of the wall remains as a monument and has turned into a canvas for graffiti artists, a significant part of the city’s urban culture.
The huge Friedrich Ludwig Jahn Sportpark, which consists of an outdoor stadium with covered stands, several more sports fields, and tennis courts flanks the east side of the park.
On Sundays, the park really comes to life with the outdoor musicians and flea market.
The famed Mauerpark outdoor flea market sets up in the southwest corner on Sundays .
The mostly private vendors sell a vast assortment of unique new and used merchandise - antiques, vinyl records, memorabilia from the GDR, clothing, bicycles, crafts and more. This is a good place to find some unique souvenirs.
Food stalls offer up tempting dishes from around the world. The choices are nearly endless.
Another tradition Mauerpark has become known for is Karaoke in the amphitheater every Sunday afternoon. This has been an ongoing event since when Joe Hatchiban started bringing a portable Karaoke system.
Weather permitting, he sets up by 3 pm offering a chance to sing in front of a few hundred cheering people, or just join in and cheer the other performers.
There are plenty of other activities to enjoy in Mauerpark, especially during the rest of the week when it is much quieter.

Must visit on a Sunday in summer! What a beautiful park, the market is a trove of treasures and wonders! Grab some beers and enjoy the beautiful grass after rummaging at the market. We even caught a break dancing show, it was spectacular 🤩

I visited after hearing that this place is famous for its weekend flea market. Just like its reputation, there were so many vendors, with plenty of things to see and lots of food to try. I bought a balaclava there, and it was in great condition, so I ended up using it really well throughout the trip.

Great show at the bearpit karaoke and good huge old fashioned flea market. We closed the day with our feet in the sand in one off the bars.

Iconic place where many Berliners and tourists come together! Prices have gone up, but in general it feels also more organized. The flea market has bargains as well as high quality and costly fashion. What can be annoying sometimes is that it can be noisy from street artists, so talking and chilling is difficult. Easy to reach by public transport!

Mauerpark is a vast park land with a good range of grassed areas and pathed walkways.
There is a section up the slope with free style Berlin Wall graffiti painting, which is unusual but really interesting to see and watch happen.
