Karl August Platz market

Description

The Karl August Platz market in Berlin takes place on Wednesday and Saturday from morning to early afternoon. There is a variety of stalls selling fresh produces, food and wine, flowers, leather goods and even arts and craft.

Access & Transport

The closest underground stations are Deutsche Oper (U2) and Wilmersdorfer Straße (U7), both about 400m away from the square. There are also bus services stopping nearby on Leibnizstr. / Kantstr. / Bismarckstr. The closest parking is on Kantstraße.

Instructions & Recommendations

This activity is best combined with Kurfürstendamm and Charlottenburg Palace is also that side of the city, about 2km northwest.

Meta review

This market still flies a bit under the radar of most visitors but not of residents. Reviews are very positive with the holy grail quartet of qualities being mentioned: quality, diversity, good service and reasonable prices.

Environmental & Social

We deem this activity marginally positive from an environmental standpoint: organic products are a plus but other products less so. The small producers' aspect is a positive from a social perspective.

Conclusion

The twice-weekly market taking place on Karl August Square is worth a detour if you are in the western part of the city on a Wednesday or Saturday morning. It isn't an attraction per se, but is an excellent way to showcase regional produces (many of them organic) and makes you forget you are in a large city for an hour or so.

Key positive

Good variety of stalls

Prices are not "touristy"

Key negative

Only 2 mornings per week so you may need to find alternatives elsewhere on other days

Suitability

Suitable for all ages and accessible for visitors with reduced mobility
