Markt am Maybachufer

The bazaar comes to Berlin

Noteworthy for: This is one of the nicest ways to explore Neukölln, when there is live music on the streets, and the bars are bustling.
Word to the wise: The official opening time is 11am, but many stallholders set up before, so get there early for the best bargains.

The largest Turkish market in Berlin, this is naturally the centre of the Turkish community here. On the border between Kreuzberg and Neukölln, every Tuesday and Friday the kilometre-long riverside road of Maybachufer feels like walking through a souk in Istanbul.
Hundreds of traders set up stalls selling everything from freshly-imported nuts and spices, to cheeses and breads made that very morning. But it's not just a food market; you can get electronics, games, books, fabrics, even 10m-long Turkish carpets. The general rule of thumb is, if you can buy it in Turkey, you can find it here.
