Boxhagener Platz

★ 4.4 (11,135)Free

Boxhagener Platz is a tree-shaded neighborhood square in Friedrichshain that hosts a well-loved Saturday market mixing secondhand goods, crafts, and food stalls with plenty of green space to relax in afterward. Reviewers highlight the relaxed atmosphere, with people spreading out on the grass to eat and watch impromptu street performances around the market stalls. A strong 4.4 rating and solid local and trendy scores fit a square valued as a genuine neighborhood gathering spot as much as a shopping stop.

✨ Reasons to go

1The flea market on the square was founded in 1998 and still draws many of Berlin's flea-market regulars every week.
2A general weekly market has run on the square since the early 20th century, when it took its name from the nearby Vorwerk Boxhagen estate.
