Sylt

The island’s capital is a great attraction for shopping enthusiasts. The pedestrian areas are where the action is, mainly on Friedrichstrasse, Paulstrasse, Strandstrasse, and their connecting streets, which offer a vibrant array of shops. From boutiques and brand-name stores to smaller individual shops featuring souvenirs and leisure wear, the shopping scene is varied. In addition to retail therapy, visitors can explore art galleries and craft workshops, and unwind in charming cafés and restaurants scattered throughout the lively streets.

Artisans have traditionally settled in the tranquil village of Keitum and its surrounding villages in Sylt-Ost. Their artistically acclaimed work is sold in the local galleries and workshops.

Kampen, Sylt’s most exclusive village, might be home to only 600 people, but there are nevertheless branches of designers like Bulgari, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Swarovski and Tod’s, each in its own thatched cottage. Stroll through the shops on Strönwai, Kampen’s most well-known shopping street, and those in the Kurhausstrasse, Hauptstrasse and 'Zur Uwe Düne', and you really will get a feel for how cosmopolitan and sophisticated Kampen is.
