About
Sample a slice of Turkish culture in the heart of Berlin—twice a week, vendors set up shop at this popular street market located in the Neukolln neighborhood, selling some of the freshest produce in town. Locals come here to stock up on pantry staples like sundried tomatoes, olives, and goat’s cheese, as well as fruits and vegetables not commonly found in commercial supermarkets.
On your tour, enjoy Turkish specialties like baklava, kebabs, and freshly made gozleme—flatbread pastry with mouthwatering savory fillings. The market operates all year round—check the schedule before you head down. – Tripadvisor

The area
Address
Neighborhood: Neukölln
No Berlin neighborhood is more popular with the young and jet-set crowd than the old worker's district of Neukölln. With so many Turkish settled here, the area became known as "Little Istanbul." Today the percentage of foreigners is still high and visitors still frequent the Turkish shisha bars. In the daytime, they also visit the designer shops and sit by the canal in one of the street cafés up and down Westerstrasse or at Maybachufer, having a beer and waving to the sightseeing boats as they float by. But at night, Neukölln is dominated by increasingly young, alternative, and international crowds. This is particularly evident in the northern section of the district where there are many bars, funky clubs, galleries and restaurants. There, the night never seems to end.

Heard it being compared to Istanbul. Whoever said that has never been to Istanbul. Felt more like a shabby backstreet in Amsterdam or Christiania (Copenhagen) with all the weed being smoked around you. On a side note, there were just as much African/Peruvian (?!) around so wouldn't even call it particularly Turkish either.

We were fortunate to be in Berlin during one of two days this market opens in the week. We really didn't have much expectations there and was just thinking to kill some time. The market was surprisingly well run with lots of stands for both food(meat&veggies&bakery), snacks, as well as textiles and jewelry goods. Prices were more than reasonable compared to other places in Berlin and we tried some food and coffee/tea there. All were high quality.
Overall, a good place to enjoy for a couple hours.

the turkish market, located at the west side of the river at Kreuzberg neighborhood, is not so big but is varied enough for an hour walk with stops for tasting some of their yummy merchandise. you can find here all kind of fruits and vegetables that are not in the local supermarkets and allowes you to cook some unique dishes. you can also find a variety of spices from the middle east, quick and "on the way" dishes and desserts and also fabrics and even music. the market is open on teusday and friday from 12:00 to 18:30 at Maybachufer st. you can't miss it!

You can grab a 2-euro currywurst, snack in style at the Stecklerfisch grilled fish stall or buy some specialty cheeses to take home. There is also a smaller market on the Platz on Wednesdays(8am-2pm). If you’re in the area on other days, try the food market outside the Rathaus Schöneberg (8am-4pm) which hosts a daily food market from Monday to Friday and a popular flea market at weekends (8am-4pm).

Must do in Berlin is to spend an hour or two strolling through these markets. From fairy floss, to kalamata olives, to delicious dips, it's fun to try and buy! After you can choose from one of the authentic restaurants around in the Kreutzberg area, also known as "little Istanbul"

I don't understand the negative reviews I've read about this market.
We were recommended to come here by a friend who lives in Berlin. Wow. The food is fantastic. Of course as a tourist you can't buy the beautiful produce they have here but there are many other options. It is still great to see and good entertainment to watch the bartering.
There is great food for lunch - gozleme, baklava etc etc. We went to one of the many stalls selling dips and cheese and Turkish breads. We had hummus and paprika dips with anchovies and bread by the river with a beer in the sun - what could be better?!

Not the easiest location to get to using public transportation, but well worth the effort. Lots of vendors selling a wide variety of products -- fabric, prepared Turkish food, quark parfaits, sugar cane beverage -- as well as fresh produce. And it is open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 11:00 AM until 6:30 PM.

I had heard about this market being good for a bargain and I finally decided to visit. There really are good deals on fruit and veg; far cheaper than any supermarket! Also lots of other types of stalls including hot food, cheese, meat and fish and fabrics to mention a few. The atmosphere is great. Stall holders are loud and animated and there was a musician performing beside the beautiful canal which added to the good vibe. I will definitely visit again !

This is the best market to go to in Berlin. It offers great food for eating right there or to take home and prepare a nice dinner. The prices are unbeatable and at the end of the market you find great Music on one side and a cute little Swing Cafe on the other side. It's just perfect.

We spent there a really good time and the place itself is very nice, there are nice bridges over the river which makes you feel like you are in Venice, plus the food was also very good and cheap. You can buy a pocket of a tee or other spices for 1 euro.

Hi Robert, I got to know from online that this market is actually opened on Tuesday and Friday, but you mention that you visited this place on Sunday. May I know if this market open daily? Thank you very much.
