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.

Shopping
Thanks to its status as a playground of the rich and famous, there is no shortage of designer shops on Sylt. However, it is not all about labels on the island — smaller, cuter shops and boutiques can also be found here. Kampen is home to elegant jewellers and designer boutiques with their luxury wares, while a wider, more down-to-earth variety of goods can be found in Westerland. The shops on Sylt are a must for lovers of tea, honey and jam. Also worth a look are the art and craft shops and studios, traditional in the village of Rantum. Similar delights are also found hidden in the side streets of Keitum.
