Getting there & away
Air Berlin (www.airberlin.com) has services from Berlin and Düsseldorf to Sylt/Westerland airport (www.flughafen-sylt.de); Hapag-Lloyd Express (www.hlx.com) flies from Hannover, Köln-Bonn and Stuttgart and Lufthansa (www.lufthansa.com) arrives from Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich, among others. Flights are more frequent in summer.
Otherwise, Sylt is connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway exclusively for trains. Regular services travel from Hamburg (Altona and Hauptbahnhof) to Westerland (€39, three hours).
If driving, you must load your vehicle onto a car train (995 0565; www.syltshuttle.de; return €86) in Niebüll near the Danish border. There are constant crossings (usually at least once an hour) in both directions, and no reservations can be made.
An alternative is to catch the car ferry (0180-310 3030; www.sylt-faehre.de) from Rømø in Denmark to List on the island’s north (one-way per person/car €5.75/38.50).
