Mauerpark.

Take the time to stroll through the markets and then wile away your time at a nearby bar

I could come here every Sunday for the rest of my life and never tire of it. Big statement, but true. You can spend hours sifting through this seemingly endless flea market, and probably find whatever it is you are looking for, no matter how obscure. Among the stalls are beer gardens serving good food, with DJs, sand and sun chairs in the summer time. Once you exit the market, you could be forgiven for thinking you have stumbled across a festival on the adjacent stretch of grass, with African drummers, spontaneous open-air parties and groups of topless youngsters sprawled all over the place drinking beer. Every Sunday in summer hundreds of people fill the slope surrounding a concrete amphitheater to watch the Bearpit Karaoke – good times guaranteed.
