Train journey from Hamburg to Sylt

Travelling from Hamburg to Sylt with Deutsche Bahn is a quick and comfortable way to explore the north of Germany and its most popular holiday destinations.

The route: from Alster and Elbe to the sea

With a wagon of the Nord-Ostsee-Bahn the journey time is only three hours. The railway line from Hamburg-Altona leads via Itzehoe, Heide, Husum and Niebüll to Westerland/Sylt. From the station in Hamburg-Altona, only low-floor passenger coaches are used, so that at almost all stations a stepless entry is guaranteed. Therefore, it is no problem for passengers with strollers or wheelchair users to use this service. The trains also offer passengers generous seat spacing, folding tables, reading lights and air conditioning, which is particularly useful in the hot summer months.

With it a vacationer can travel through the state for a whole day. On Sylt itself, visitors can not only see the beautiful dunes and enjoy swimming, but also use the local transport or explore the region with rented bicycles.
