Market/Bazaar |
Berlin has a surprising number of antique shops offering fair prices due to the concentration of competition in the same geographic areas. In Charlottenburg, some 30 shops are located in Suarezstraße (U-Bahn station Sophie-Charlotte-Platz). Many antique shops are in the side-streets around Nollendorfplatz. In contrast to most other shops, this market is also open on Sunday but closed on Tuesday.
