Root and Rummage

Flea Markets. They can be more Bob Marley than Kate Moss, but it’s not just mouldy GDR helmets. The mother of Berlin fleas is in the park at Str. des 17 Juni / Tiergarten / S: Tiergarten / 11am-5pm Sat-sun / a honeypot of vintage and antique, but some overpriced touristy junk. Grungy young ’uns trade gran’s enamel teapot for vinyls and band T’s at Arkonaplatz / Mitte / U: Bernauer Str. / 10am-6pm Sun. Ostbahnhof / Erich-steinfurth-str. / S: Ostbahnhof / Friedrichshain / 9am-5pm Sun / is a tad pricier, antique-hunter’s mecca.
