It's a lazy Sunday afternoon so we decided that the best way to enjoy it is to eat, do a bit of shopping and hang out in Mauerpark, one of the most popular parks in Berlin.
Every Sunday in summer, lots of people (locals and tourists alike) head out to Mauerpark. There's the flea market where you can buy lots of stuff from clothes, to vinyl records, to souvenirs, and even bicycles. Of course, there's plenty of food and drinks being sold too.
Inside the park you'll find families out having a picnic, friends drinking and having a barbecue, while others are simply resting or taking a nap on the grass catching lots of sun. I spent a good hour lying on the grass and enjoyed the first day of summer in the city.
Oh how I wish we could have more parks like this here in the Philippines!
How to get there:
Take the M10 tram and get off the Wolliner Str. stop, just a few steps from the park and flee market.

But the best part of going to Mauerpark is seeing all these artists - singers, jugglers, dancers, magicians - perform for free! One can always show appreciation by dropping some spare change or buying their CDs. I even read that at the Bear Pit, there's free karaoke for anyone who's brave enough to show off their singing prowess. Sayang we didn't see that (maybe it was still early?) because that's one of the reasons I wanted to go to Mauerpark. Here's one of my fave singers that day:
