Why Choose Munich and Its Surrounding Areas?

Munich combines the opportunities of one of Germany’s major economic centres with a high standard of everyday living, extensive green spaces and easy access to the Bavarian countryside. For people relocating from the UK, the city offers strong employment opportunities, excellent public transport and a wide choice of neighbourhoods, from busy central districts to quieter residential areas suited to families.

Popular Areas

Altstadt-Lehel places residents close to Munich’s historic centre, restaurants, shops and major attractions, while Maxvorstadt is known for its universities, museums and lively café scene. Schwabing remains one of Munich’s best-known residential areas, offering restaurants, bars and convenient access to the Englischer Garten.

Families and those looking for quieter surroundings often consider areas such as Bogenhausen, Nymphenburg, Pasing and Harlaching. These districts generally offer a more residential feel while retaining good connections into central Munich. The wider Munich area also includes well-connected towns and communities for those who prefer to live outside the city itself.

Restaurants and Social Life

Munich is famous for traditional Bavarian food, beer halls and beer gardens, but its restaurant scene extends far beyond that. The city has a wide range of international restaurants, independent cafés and modern dining alongside traditional establishments.

Areas such as Schwabing, Maxvorstadt and Glockenbachviertel have particularly active restaurant and social scenes. Munich’s beer gardens are also an important part of local life during the warmer months, with venues ranging from large traditional gardens to smaller neighbourhood locations.

Schools and Family Life

Munich is popular with families and has German state schools alongside international and bilingual education options. Families relocating from the UK may want to investigate schools before choosing a property, as location, admission requirements and daily travelling times can influence which part of Munich is most suitable.

Residential districts outside the immediate centre can provide more space and quieter surroundings while remaining accessible by public transport.

Parks, Mountains and Outdoor Life

One of Munich’s biggest attractions is the amount of outdoor space available both within and beyond the city. The Englischer Garten runs through a substantial part of Munich and is one of its best-known recreational areas, while the Isar provides further opportunities for walking, cycling and spending time outdoors.

Munich’s location in southern Bavaria also provides relatively easy access to lakes and the Alps. This makes the city particularly attractive to people who enjoy hiking, skiing and other outdoor activities while still wanting to live in a major city.

Getting Around Munich

Munich has an extensive U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tram and bus network, making many areas accessible without relying on a car. The city also has strong rail connections with the rest of Germany and neighbouring European countries.

For anyone choosing where to live, proximity to an S-Bahn or U-Bahn station can make a significant difference to commuting times, particularly when considering properties further from the centre.

Moving into Munich

Properties in Munich range from central apartments to larger homes in residential districts and communities surrounding the city. Access can therefore vary considerably between addresses.

When planning removals to Munich, we ask about parking, floor level, lift availability and the distance between the removal vehicle and the property. Central streets and apartment buildings can present different access challenges from houses in the outer districts, so having this information beforehand allows us to plan the appropriate vehicle and removal team.

Our Removal Services

Our removal services include dedicated vehicles and flexible part-load groupage options, allowing us to provide the right service for anything from a few boxes to a complete household move.

Dedicated Luton Van

Ideal for: Apartments, student relocations and smaller household moves.

Our dedicated Luton vans offer approximately 18m³ of loading space with a payload of around 1,000kg, making them an ideal option for smaller household removals. Our standard service includes an experienced driver who assists with loading and unloading, with a second removal porter available where required.

As the vehicle is dedicated solely to your move, your belongings remain on the same van from collection through to delivery, with no transhipping or sharing of vehicle space with other customers.

Their smaller size makes Luton vans particularly useful for city and town moves, apartments and properties where access may be difficult for larger removal vehicles. Protective removal blankets and securing straps are used to protect and secure your belongings throughout the journey.

Our Removals Process

  • The Key Is Establishing the Volume

    The first step is establishing how much you have to move. You can send us a list of the items, photographs or a WhatsApp video, and we’ll use this to assess the volume. If you already know the approximate volume or the type of removal vehicle you require, we can quote on that basis instead.

    We’ll also need to know where you’re moving from and to, along with any important access information at either property. This might include restricted parking, narrow roads, stairs, lifts or anything else that could affect the collection or delivery.

    Once we understand your move, we’ll prepare a clear quotation based on the service you need and work with you to arrange suitable collection and delivery dates. Where customs procedures are required, we’ll advise you on the documents we need from you and take care of the customs work associated with your removal.

    Once everything is arranged, you can leave the rest to us. Our team will take care of the collection, customs procedures where required, secure transport and delivery of your belongings, keeping you informed throughout and making the whole process as straightforward as possible.

Key Considerations When Moving Abroad

  • Documents, Dates and Planning Ahead

    When moving your belongings abroad, it is important to start gathering the documents that may be required for customs clearance. Requirements vary between countries and according to your individual circumstances, but commonly requested documents can include a copy of your passport, a detailed packing list, proof of your previous residence and evidence of your new residence abroad.

    As a useful starting point, we recommend having proof of residence covering the previous 12 months, details of your new address and a clear inventory of the household goods you are moving. Additional documents may be required depending on the destination and whether you are transferring your normal residence. Your move manager will advise you on the documentation required for your particular move and help you through the customs process.

    It is also worth establishing your moving dates as early as possible. Think about the earliest date your belongings will be ready for collection, the latest date you need to leave your current property and the earliest date you can receive your belongings at your new home. This helps us plan the most suitable collection and delivery schedule.

    If there is a gap between leaving one property and gaining access to the next, you may need storage as part of your move. Let us know when discussing your requirements and we can take this into account when planning your removal.

Removals to Munich FAQs

How often do you provide removals to Munich from the UK?

We regularly operate removal services between the UK and Germany. Part-load and groupage services are suitable for customers with flexible dates, while a dedicated vehicle can be arranged when you need specific collection and delivery dates.

How long does a removal from the UK to Munich take?

With a dedicated service, your belongings travel directly towards Munich after collection, subject to customs clearance, legal driving hours and Channel crossing schedules. Part-load services take longer because several customers’ consignments are combined on a planned European route.

What route do you take for removals to Munich?

The exact route depends on the UK collection point, Channel crossing, traffic and operational requirements. After entering mainland Europe, our vehicles normally travel through France, Belgium or the Netherlands and onwards through Germany towards Bavaria. The route is planned around the vehicle, driving hours and your delivery arrangements.

Do you handle customs clearance for removals to Munich?

Yes. Household goods moving from the UK into Germany are subject to customs procedures. We can explain the documentation required and help prepare your move for customs clearance. Customers transferring their normal residence may qualify for relief from import duties and taxes if the relevant German requirements are met.

Can you move just a few boxes or a small amount of furniture to Munich?

Yes. Our part-load service is designed for smaller consignments where hiring an entire vehicle would be unnecessary. Your belongings share vehicle space with other customers moving along a compatible European route, helping to keep the cost proportionate to the size of your move.

Can I book a dedicated removal vehicle to Munich?

Yes. A dedicated vehicle carries only your belongings and is planned around your collection and delivery requirements. It is particularly suitable for larger household moves, customers working to fixed dates or moves where a faster, more direct service is required.

Are there access problems with apartment removals in central Munich?

There can be. Central Munich properties may have restricted parking, upper-floor access, smaller lifts or a longer carrying distance between the vehicle and entrance. We ask for this information before the move so we can plan the appropriate vehicle, crew and handling requirements.

Do I need to arrange parking for the removal vehicle in Munich?

This depends on your address and the size of vehicle required. Some locations may require suitable loading space to be arranged or reserved beforehand. If you provide the address and access details in advance, we can discuss what may be required before delivery day.

Can you provide a two-person removal team in Munich?

Yes. A two-person or additional removal team can be arranged where required. This can be particularly useful for larger household moves, heavy furniture, apartments with difficult access or where you are unable to assist with carrying.

Do you provide removals from Munich back to the UK?

Yes. We provide removals from Munich to the UK as well as UK-to-Munich services. This can be arranged as a smaller part load or a dedicated vehicle for a complete household move, with guidance on the customs documentation required when bringing your belongings into the UK.
