Sylt, GermanyWhat? Germany has a Riveria? On an island?! It’s true! The island of Sylt is a place you probably never knew existed until right now. It is stretched along 36 square miles of bliss and is known for its quaint beach cottages, fields of heather, and nudity. There are also to die for dishes at many of the celebrity frequented restaurants as well as designer shopping. Or to get away from it all, on the northern most point is the Alter Gasthof Inn. The inn has been serving regional dishes for over 200 years.

So why aren’t you there yet?

Sylt is about 5 hours from Berlin or 3 ½ from Hamburg. It’s a great weekend break if you’re on a weeklong vacation in a major city or an incredible place to spend an entire holiday.
