"Where to Find Cool Kitschy Things The weekly flohmarkt (flea market) in Friedrichshain's Boxhagener Platz is a popular spot where locals meet up for shopping, drinking, or just a bit of fun each Sunday. While the Mauer Park flea market gets most of the tourists, this one is far less touristy. You're much more likely to find a good deal on used books, cool T-shirts (some by local designers, even!), music records, and knickknacks. Because the market is relatively small, it's quite enjoyable to take a stroll through the stalls and then enjoy a picnic on the grassy area in the middle of the square. Many cafes and restaurants are situated on the streets bordering Boxhagener Platz so you won't be bored for things to do. The market is open Sundays during daylight. On Saturdays in the same area you'll find a fresh food & produce market."

We were looking to visit a Saturday local flea market and was recommended this one! There were food, wine, booths, art and flowers! I would definitely recommend you to visit the local market on Saturday or Sunday! The time it opens differ for every market, so please check the opening hours prior to going!

I found Boxhagener Platz to be a perfect slice of Berlin life—especially on Sundays when “Boxi” turns into a lively flea market and a chill green hangout. Whether I was browsing for vintage treasures, grabbing a coffee at a local café, or just soaking up the creative vibe of Friedrichshain, the whole place felt relaxed and full of character. It's a great spot to experience the true spirit of the neighborhood.

Very lively spot in Berlin Friedrichshain! Surrounded by lots of restaurants, bars & late-night shops, it's the perfect place to enjoy the sun with a cold drink and your friends.
During the weekend you will find a food & flea market with a variety of goods.
In general it's a very busy place when the weather is nice.

Cheap flea market. Got some cute stuff. For good price. Tram situation they need to figure out. Otherwise great experience. Would recommend for locals and tourists alike.
