I remember stumbling across Bearpit Karaoke on youtube and ended up watching 1 hour of crappy videos and laughing my butt off from the very horrible singers who are brave enough to stand in front of hundreds of people. Time waster? yes, but so worth it. Naturally, I was most excited to see the legendary Karaoke scene at Mauerpark which happens only on Sundays, but guess what? It rained on the ONLY Sunday we were in Berlin. =( Business was still usual for everyone else. The food options are dizzying: fresh squeezed juice for a euro, pizza, bratwurst, mediterranean food, italian, crepes, burgers, I could go on. You will not go hungry here, just bring cash. Lots of vendors with their own handcrafted wares (graffiti artists, handmade bags, etc) and of course, typical flea market bric-a-brac items. Be ready to bargain and walk away if you're not getting the price you want. Wonderful place to spend Sunday Funday in Berlin. Hopefully, the sun is shining when you come.

Berliners love their flea markets apparently and the Flohmarkt am Mauerpark is the "king of flea markets" according to TimeOut magazine. Thus, spending a Sunday here is a most awesome Berliner thing to do. Before we get to the flea market, can we just add that there is public karaoke here too? Ok now on to the flea market. It's big! Lots of knick knacks that Berliners are trying to get rid off or barter. Furniture, clothes, jewelry, luggage, old records, books, and what have you... you shall find. It's a wonderful place to just wander and take pictures of a cornucopia of color. I got my main tourist buy here - a canvas print of a Berlin graffitied street by a local artist. There is also quite a bit of food here so hungry stomachs won't leave empty. The usual curry wurst is prevalent but there are so many better options. These fresh baked pizzas and whole grilled fish caught my eye when I entered but my advice is to go deep into the fleamarket and look for this Turkish stall manned entirely by women - you'll hear their "danke schön" as you get closer.

(http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/9OMnjyb_2rSDFpc1lhrQYQ?select=Z7EGOkyXZFfxOnfxqzkg1A#idkvhtucWFFxBE1BP8VUQQ) So yum! Lots of other snacks like spinach pies and cous cous boulettes. For a wonderful local experience, you have to spend a lazy Sunday here at the Flohmarkt am Mauerpark. You'll never know what treasures you might find. Or eat.

An incredible way to spend a Sunday in Berlin! It's a grand mix of flea market, food stands, and performance art all rolled into one big beautiful place. When you're finished browsing and shopping, make your way to the amphitheater and prepare for some great entertainment. The karaoke and crowd participation are not to be missed. You'll hear everything from traditional German songs,to pop music, and crazy obscure tunes. If you can, grab a couple of drinks before settling into your seat. If not, no worries, there are vendors selling great drinks all around the place. Also, be sure to catch the kids creating and drawing on the wall above the arena. So fantastic!

Most things are closed in Berlin on a Sunday, luckily this flea market is open! And oh what fun it was to spend on a Sunday looking for buried treasure! They got items of all sorts from vintage cameras to vintage postcards from around the world, typewriters, Some vendors have items neatly laid out others have rows of cardboard boxes organized in a random manner. Some boxes can contain a microwave egg cooker and a vintage camera or a stamp book etc. I'll admit it gets exhausting after a while digging through cardboard boxes of stuff. There are also areas to buy new items and food and drink. Tip- negotiate!! This place is def worth a visit and if you get board check out the graffiti wall in the park

Now *this* is a flea market! Stocked with everything from old camera flash bulbs to discount armoires, this is a place to grab an iced chai latte (available in abundance) and browse away an afternoon. There's plenty of traditional German and Turkish food available, so if you're keen on a brat or a toasted sandwich with garlic sausage and cheese, then they've got you covered!

I've been to a good few flea markets in my time but this was above all the best! They have EVERYTHING! Great selection of clothes, accessories, frames, keyrings, prints, collector items, puppet shows, bikes, necklaces, rings, cameras, Berlin wall replicas, new things, old things, wonderful food stalls!(try the yogurt stand, I had a type of cheesy yogurt which sounds not too nice but it was delicious!) can't think of the name of the stall, but if you see it, try it, you wont be disappointed! You could spend the whole day there and not even see half the stalls! It's really big so you'd want to give yourself enough time to have a good perusal about the place! So get there in the morning! The only downside is if it's hot, there really isn't much shade! As I experienced in 30+ degree heat! And it can get a bit overcrowded as alot of local people as well as the tourists are free to roam about on a Sunday there. They also have there what's called the "Bearpit Karaoke Show", this takes place in the amphitheatre that's situated on the hillside just across from the park's basketball court. Members of the audience are asked to sing a song, if the crowd think you're good they'll cheer for you, if not you'll booed all the way home, not for the faint hearted ;) Thousands of people come to see this show every sunday, so get there early to find yourself a seat! :)

the art of haggling, when two parry back and forth managing to arrive at a price which neither party to the transaction would consider it "robbery". when i want to truly enjoy these special moments, i'll either go to chinatown or a flea market. and mauerpark is an exceptional place to go watch the wonderfully frustrating dance between customer and salesperson. you can buy handmade clothing, possibly stolen bikes, or even a vintage accordion for like 3 euros! they also had talking robots, delicious donners, and other random shit like ... KARAOKE!

If you like flea markets, then the flea market at Mauerpark is a must-see. It has some real finds, and many more finds than crap. It is also unbelievably affordable. There are many food stands and you will have opportunities to try every German specialties, many types of beer, and waffles with toppings like nutella (which is apparently common). Some of the highlights for me were the old cameras, the jewelry, the artwork, and the second hand designer bags. If you go to the flea market, make sure to leave time (at least an hour) to go to Bearpit Karaoke (listed on Yelp as Karaoke Im Mauerpark), also in Mauerpark.
