Which city districts does Lublin have?

Lublin has 27 city districts. In the centre lie Stare Miasto (the old town) and Śródmieście, to the west Wieniawa and Sławinek, and to the south-west large residential areas such as Czuby, Węglin and Rury. Whether an area suits your family depends on the way to school, your place of work and your budget – for the move, access, floor and lift matter. In residential blocks the lift is often small, so we carry bulky furniture through the stairwell.

How long does the removal lorry take from Berlin to Lublin?

From our base in Stromstraße it is around 745 km via the A12 to Frankfurt (Oder), the Polish A2 via Poznań to Warsaw, then the S2 and the S17 to Lublin. By lorry we allow about eleven and a half hours including breaks – more than one day's driving time. That is why we drive with two drivers or stop overnight; with loading and unloading we plan two to three days.

Which universities are there in Lublin?

Lublin is home to five universities, including Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (UMCS), the Catholic University of Lublin (KUL), the University of Technology and the Medical University. For students with a small household a part load is often cheaper than a dedicated lorry; enquire early before the start of semester in October.

Can I also move from Lublin to Berlin?

Yes, we plan the reverse route in just the same way: a survey or video call, a fixed price, loading in Lublin – with access clarified for addresses in the old town – and around 745 km via Warsaw and Poznań to Berlin. In Berlin we apply to the district office (Bezirksamt) for the parking restriction, and you register within two weeks at the registration office (Bürgeramt).

How long does the move from Germany to Lublin take?

From Berlin it is around 745 km, about eleven and a half hours by lorry including breaks. Because that exceeds the daily driving time of nine hours, we drive with two drivers or make an overnight stop. There are no border checks for removal goods within the EU. We coordinate the exact timetable with your key handover.

Do I need customs papers for the move to Lublin?

No. Within the EU there are no customs formalities for household goods; the special rules for removal goods only apply to moves from non-EU countries. A simple box list still helps when unloading and in the event of damage. To register in Lublin you need ID and proof of the flat; details are given above.

How do I find a flat in Lublin?

Flats in Lublin are mostly offered on Polish property portals. Because of the many students, demand is high at the start of semester in October, so start looking early. Only sign the tenancy agreement once the moving date can be planned – you will need it as proof of the flat when registering.

What is different in Lublin compared with Berlin?

Lublin is much smaller than Berlin, distances are shorter, and many students shape the city. On the official side: registration by day 30 at the municipal office instead of two weeks at the Bürgeramt, and the old town can only be entered with an identifier. Budget in złoty day to day and arrange electricity, internet and a bank account locally early on.

Does your company also offer part loads to Lublin?

Yes. With a part load , your household goods travel with other consignments in the same lorry and you only pay your share of the load space. In return a time window applies instead of a fixed delivery day; we check whether a tour towards eastern Poland fits when you enquire. We are liable for your belongings under § 451e HGB just as on a dedicated trip.

How good are transport links in Lublin?

Lublin has buses and trolleybuses, there are direct trains to Warsaw, and the city has its own airport. For the removal lorry, the S17 expressway from the direction of Warsaw is the most important access route. It is best to check your route to work or university before choosing a flat.

Which moving services do you offer for Lublin?

We offer packing, transport, assembly and storage in Berlin, and for small amounts also a part load. The services are listed as separate items in the fixed price. We are liable for your belongings under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre, and additional insurance is possible. More under International move .

Who may drive into Lublin's old town?

According to the City of Lublin's website (archived version from August 2025), vehicles with an identifier may enter the old town, as well as supply vehicles, municipal services, the municipal police, the police and certain taxis. The identifier is only valid on the days and at the times stated in the application.

How does Lublin control access to the old town?

According to the City of Lublin, cameras on ul. Noworybna and ul. Olejna read number plates and compare them with the list of authorised vehicles. In the event of a breach, the municipal police can impose fines; the city states 20 to 500 zł.

When may supply vehicles enter Lublin's old town?

An article by the city dated 14.02.2023 (archived version from August 2025) states 6.00 am to 11.00 am. The times can change, so check with the city before you fix the moving date.

How many identifiers do I get per flat in Lublin?

According to the City of Lublin, a maximum of 2 per flat, because only around 30 spaces are available in the old town's paid parking zone. The identifier does not exempt you from the parking fee.

How much does registering your residence in Lublin cost?

According to the gov.pl portal (as of 11.03.2026), registration is free of charge. The certificate of registration for permanent residence is also free; the one for temporary residence costs 17 zł. Additional certificates cost 17 zł each.

FROM BERLIN-MOABIT

From Berlin to eastern Poland

Moving to Lublin: university city east of the Vistula

Guide

Unsere Firma comes from Berlin-Moabit (Stromstraße 21) and drives around 745 km via Poznań and Warsaw all the way to Lublin.

Lublin is the capital of the voivodeship of the same name, lies around 160 km south-east of Warsaw and, with about 340,000 inhabitants, is the largest Polish city east of the Vistula. The Union of Lublin between Poland and Lithuania was concluded here in 1569; the old town with its castle and Renaissance houses recalls it. Lublin is home to five universities, including UMCS and the Catholic University KUL. As Poland is part of the EU, there is no customs duty on your household goods – what mainly needs clarifying is access, registration and the date. Whether you are moving for study, a job or to be near family, you will find very different areas between the old town, the centre and the residential districts on the outskirts.

With our home move we take care of packing, transport and assembly. From Berlin (Stromstraße 21) it is around 745 km via Frankfurt (Oder), the Polish A2 to Warsaw and the S17 to Lublin; by lorry that is about eleven and a half hours including breaks, which is more than one day's driving time – we plan two drivers or an overnight stop. If your address is in the old town, we clarify access in advance. We give you the fixed price after a survey, including for the way back to Berlin.

FROM BERLIN

What we take care of when you move to Lublin

Planning in Berlin, arrival on the Bystrzyca

We have no branch and no partner haulier in Poland; we drive by lorry from Berlin-Moabit all the way to Lublin. That is why we clarify access, floor and stairwell in advance – in the old town with its access zone as well as in the residential blocks on the outskirts. We pack, carry, transport and reassemble; you handle registration at the municipal office yourself. We are liable for your household goods under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre, and additional insurance is possible for valuables. We answer questions by phone on 01625978461.

Packing service

We pack carefully in Berlin and load so that what you need on the first evening arrives first in Lublin – with our packing service.

Office move

Practices, agencies and offices move according to a jointly agreed schedule so that work in Lublin quickly carries on – with an office move.

Senior moves

A move later in life needs calm: we pack with you, transport gently and set up the most important rooms first in Lublin – with a senior move.

Furniture transport

Valuable furniture is padded individually, secured in the lorry and carried carefully through the stairwell in Lublin – with furniture transport.

BEFORE MOVING DAY

Well planned to Lublin

We pack valuables such as pictures, keepsakes or electronics individually for the long journey and secure them in the lorry. We are liable for damage under § 451e HGB; additional insurance for valuable items is possible.

Registration in view

You handle registration at your new address yourself (by day 30 at the municipal office) – we give you the arrival day in writing so the deadline is clear.

No customs within the EU

Within the EU no customs duty is due on your household goods; a simple box list still helps when unloading in Lublin and in the event of damage.

Access sorted

We ask about floor, lift, stairwell and parking space in advance so that enough movers and materials are on hand for the move in Lublin.

Arrival planned

With a lorry journey of around 11.5 hours, we fix the loading and arrival times in advance so that the handover in Lublin can be agreed bindingly.

Return trip possible

We also plan the move from Lublin back to Berlin with a survey or video call, a fixed price and deregistration at your old address in mind.

Storage to bridge a gap

If the flat in Lublin is not yet free, we store your belongings in Berlin and deliver on the new date – as a separate item in the fixed price.

FOR SMALL LOADS

Not much to move? Part load!

Ideal for a few items

With a part load to Lublin you use free space in a lorry that is already travelling via Frankfurt (Oder), Poznań and Warsaw. This suits single pieces of furniture, students or small households; delivery takes place in an agreed time window.

BERLIN – LUBLIN

From
planning to assembly

We take care of every detail

This guide explains what needs clarifying before a move to Lublin: which city districts there are, how access to the old town with an identifier works, how you register at the municipal office by day 30 and why no customs duty is due on household goods from Germany. Then there is the journey: around 745 km, more than one day's driving time by lorry. We do not give rents because they change quickly.

Planning back from moving-in day

Giving notice in Berlin, packing dates, access and registration at the municipal office by day 30: with a plan worked back from moving-in day, your home move, senior move or student move to Lublin stays manageable – even over around 745 km.

Furniture, boxes and access

With a packing service, careful furniture transport and sorted access, furniture gets into older buildings or narrow streets in Lublin without long carrying distances – whether an older building in Śródmieście or a prefab block in Czuby.

Costs and special cases

Costs are determined by volume, floor and the route of around 745 km; for small amounts a part load lowers the price. We include storage or an office move to Lublin in the fixed price.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about moving to Lublin

Costs, city districts, registration, access, route and liability – answered briefly.

The costs depend on volume, floors, access and additional services such as packing or assembly, plus around 745 km, tolls and, because of driving times, a second driver or an overnight stop.

City districts in Lublin: old town, centre and residential areas

Lublin is divided into 27 city districts. The old town (Stare Miasto) with its castle, Kraków Gate and cobblestones is a zone with an access ban; only vehicles with an identifier and delivery traffic at fixed times may enter. Next to it lies the centre, Śródmieście, with shopping streets and universities, and to the west Wieniawa and Sławinek. To the south-west follow large residential areas such as Czuby, Węglin and Rury, many of them with post-war residential blocks. For a move, access, floor and lift matter most: in the old town you need to clarify entry in advance, and in residential blocks the lift is often small. Which area suits you depends on your commute, university and budget.

Flat hunting, work and universities in Lublin

We do not give specific rents because they change quickly and depend heavily on location and condition; compare current listings on Polish portals and budget in złoty. Because many students live in the city, demand is high at the start of semester in October – start looking early. Lublin is home to five universities, including Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (UMCS), the Catholic University of Lublin (KUL), the University of Technology and the Medical University. To register, you need proof of the flat, such as the tenancy agreement. Giving notice in Berlin, deregistering at the registration office (Bürgeramt) and registering in Lublin are best planned backwards from moving-in day; if needed, we store your furniture in Berlin and deliver on the agreed date. What a home move includes is set out on the service page.
