Berlin used to have many markets, but sadly most of them have closed. Today there are only three remaining historical markets in Berlin, of which Markthalle Neun is the best. Originally established in 1891, the market was revived as a local’s farmers’ market in 2011. The market is open from 12:00 until 18:00 every day of the week except on Sundays. But the best day to visit is on Thursdays, when vendors set up shop to sell street food dishes from countries all over the world. Mexican, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese… You name it! Special markets are also held on certain occasions, like the Breakfast Market that takes place every third Sunday of the month, or the dreamy Naschmarkt that takes place once every quarter. Depending on when you visit Berlin, you might even catch one of the festivals hosted by Markthalle. There’s a Berlin Coffee Festival, a Cheese Festival and a typically German Wurst & Beer Festival. A visit to this charming food market is one of the coolest unique things to do in Berlin!
