holidays with your pet on Sylt

If you're traveling to Sylt with your own car, you can easily bring your dog along. The crossing fee is charged per vehicle. Please note that the engine must be turned off during the crossing. It can therefore be chilly in winter and hot in summer for your dog. Please keep a blanket and drinking water handy.

Traveling by train has advantages such as no traffic jams and a relaxed ride for the whole family, including the dog. One disadvantage is the lack of flexibility when it comes to breaks.

Small dogs in suitable carriers do not require a ticket. Larger dogs require a half-price ticket, must be on a leash, and must wear a muzzle. Guide dogs and assistance dogs travel free and are not required to wear a muzzle.

The Sylt ferry runs between Sylt's Danish neighbor island of Römö and List. Travelers by car with their dog are free of charge and do not need to register. If you want to walk your dog onto the ferry, there is a small surcharge. Important for dog owners: Please have your dog's vaccination papers ready, and your dog must be kept on a leash while on board.

Airlines offer the option of transporting dogs to Sylt – both small and, in certain cases, larger four-legged friends. For small dogs that fit in a suitable bag or carrier, an additional charge applies per flight. These must be registered when booking your flight. Larger dogs can travel in the cargo hold upon prior request. Detailed information on traveling by plane can be found on the websites of the airlines that offer flights to Sylt.
