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.

Great place to be on a Sunday. So much going on. The flea and craft market, performers, great selection food stalls and cafes. Lovely park, ideal place for children to run around and a play area too . There's also a section of the Berlin wall here with great art works on.

I visited the park two consecutive Sundays and both times were amazing, every Sunday there is a really huge flea market that has literally anything, from antiques to street food to hand made clothing ect. The park itself is stunning, you can buy drinks and use public restrooms for free, various performances from singers to street dancers and so on! Really worth the visit, just keep in mind that most of the flea market sellers accept only cash!

Mauerpark in Berlin is a vibrant mix of history, culture, and community. This former part of the Berlin Wall has transformed into a lively public space, popular for its flea market, open-air karaoke, and lush green areas. Every Sunday, the park bursts with energy as locals and tourists browse vintage treasures, sample street food, and enjoy live performances. The park’s graffiti-covered walls and artistic vibe make it visually captivating. Mauerpark is perfect for people-watching, relaxing with friends, or immersing yourself in Berlin’s unique creative spirit. It’s an essential stop to experience the city’s culture and sense of freedom.
