Karl August Platz market - by Fuster Cluck on Google
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.
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
