Playing host to numerous culinary delights, Berlin is a superb destination for a gastronomic tour. Delight your senses at the bustling Turkish market in Kreuzberg (Tuesday and Fridays only), one of the best locations to try the famous currywurst sausage. Alternatively, visit the Marheineke Halle, an organic covered market selling fresh flowers, meat and seasonal produce, as well as typical Berlin snacks.

Continue to the Bonbon Macherei (subject to opening times) a traditional sweet-making shop, in the Heckmann Höfe, a hidden courtyard of the Mitte district. Afterwards, experience the famous ‘KaDeWe’, a prestigious department store in West Berlin that was opened in 1907. Its mouth-watering food court boasts a selection of culinary delights to rival Harrods in London. During your visit, sample delicious local specialities and delightful pastries.
