türkenmarkt on maybachufer

Every Tuesday and Friday there is a bustling Turkish market along Maybachufer in Neukölln from noon until early evening. There is a nice and quite easy-going atmosphere - except for the Turkish women with their shopping trollies pushing past you to get her shopping done before the best vegetables has been sold. It is a nice place to roam around for a while and also a good spot to do your grocery shopping!

Vendors sell blankets like the ones they sell in Khao San Road in Bangkok and jewellery similar to those being sold in Thamel-area in the capital of Nepal; Kathmandu. You can find everything (I even thought I saw Robert Downey Jr.) from good, cheap fruits and vegetables and evil looking knives to strawberry/chili honey and lamps for your bike (which was what I was searching for).

Of course you can buy good coffee to go and falafel wraps, which you can enjoy while listening to the musicians playing on a small terrace on the Landwehrkanal.

Definitely worth the visit and an easy thing to plot in to your 'Berlin itinerary'!
