Turkish Market at Maybachufer
Maybachufer, 12047 Berlin (Neukölln/Kreuzberg border)
Nestled along the leafy banks of the Landwehrkanal, the Turkish Market transforms Maybachufer into a bustling bazaar twice a week. Every Tuesday and Friday from 11:00–18:30, vendors line both sides of the street with vibrant stalls overflowing with fresh produce, textiles, spices, and street food.
What to See & Shop
Fresh Fruits & Vegetables: From sun-ripened eggplants and peppers to exotic citrus and pomegranates, the quality rivals any Mediterranean souk.
Spices & Olives: Discover aromatic piles of za’atar, sumac, and Turkish red pepper flakes, alongside briny olives and jars of local honey.
Textiles & Homewares: Colorful bolts of fabric, hand-embroidered cushions, and lanterns add an Oriental flair—perfect for souvenirs or DIY projects.
Street Food Delights: Grab a freshly made gözleme (savory flatbread), falafel wraps, or grilled corn-on-the-cob, then sip on salep or strong Turkish coffee as you stroll.
Atmosphere & Experience
The market’s multicultural vibe draws a lively crowd—families with strollers, local chefs shopping for ingredients, and curious travelers sampling bites. Live musicians often set up by the canal, adding a soundtrack of oud and darbuka to the fragrant air.
