Which districts of Wrocław are suitable for families?

Families often look in Krzyki, Zalesie or Sępolno, where there are quieter residential streets and green spaces; international schools also play a part in the choice. Which location suits you depends on the route to school, place of work and tram connections. We check access and floor before the move. We quote the fixed price for your move to Wrocław after a survey.

Which boroughs does Wrocław have?

Five: Stare Miasto (Old Town), Śródmieście, Krzyki, Fabryczna and Psie Pole; their administrative significance has been minor since 1990, and the city is divided into many residential neighbourhoods. We do not give specific rents, as they depend heavily on location and condition. For the move, what counts is the specific address.

Do I need a customs declaration for the move to Poland?

No. Poland is in the EU, so there are no customs formalities for private household goods when moving from Germany. A list of your belongings is still useful for insurance and for checking during unloading. What matters instead is registering in Wrocław and deregistering in Germany. We clarify access, floor and carrying distances beforehand.

How long does transport from Berlin to Wrocław take?

From Stromstraße 21 in Berlin-Moabit it is around 351 km via the A13, the A15 and the Polish A4. By lorry we reckon on about five and a half hours including a break; loading in Berlin and unloading in Wrocław are therefore often possible in one long day, otherwise we plan two days.

Which employers are there in Wrocław for international professionals?

Wrocław is an important business and university centre with many jobs in industry, IT and services; the universities train numerous skilled workers. For international professionals, English is often enough at work, while Polish helps in everyday life. We are happy to answer questions on 01625978461.

Is Wrocław a good city for students?

Yes, thanks to the University of Wrocław and the University of Science and Technology with around 35,000 students, Wrocław is one of Poland's major student cities. Neighbourhoods such as Biskupin or Nadodrze are popular with students. For a room in a shared flat, a shared load is often cheaper than a van of your own. Allow enough lead time before moving day.

Do you also store furniture for a move to Wrocław?

Yes, if your new flat in Wrocław is not yet ready to move into, we put your furniture into interim storage and deliver on the new date. That way you can plan flexibly; we list the cost as a separate item in the quote. For your belongings we are liable under § 451e HGB.

What makes Wrocław's old town special as a place to live?

The old town with the Rynek market square, colourful townhouses and the dwarf figures is the liveliest part of Wrocław. If you want to live centrally, you are close to culture, restaurants and the Oder. For the move this means narrow streets and little parking space – we clarify access and the stopping area in advance.

Do you also offer shared loads for smaller moves to Wrocław?

Yes, a shared load is suitable for students or smaller households who do not need the whole load space. Your consignment travels with others on the same route, which saves money. A time window applies instead of a fixed delivery date.

How do I officially register in Wrocław?

According to gov.pl, EU citizens register no later than the 30th day after moving in (zameldowanie); anyone staying less than 30 days does not have to register. Registration is free of charge and also possible online. You need your ID or passport, proof of your right to live there such as the tenancy agreement, and the registration form.

Can I also move from Wrocław to Berlin?

Yes, we plan the reverse route in the same way: survey, fixed price, loading in Wrocław and around 351 km via the A4 and the A15 to Berlin. In Berlin we apply for the parking restriction at the district office (Bezirksamt), the signs go up 72 hours beforehand, and you register at the Bürgeramt within two weeks.

Are there restrictions for removal lorries in Wrocław?

Yes, restrictions apply within a zone for lorries of 9 tonnes permissible total weight and above. According to wroclaw.pl, vehicles up to 9 tonnes are unrestricted. For 9 to 12 tonnes you need a documented destination in the zone; above 12 tonnes fixed time windows apply.

Is there an exemption for heavy lorries in Wrocław?

For sign B-5 with 18 tonnes, the city's geoportal provides for an exemption only in justified, non-one-off cases. No exemptions are provided for the other B-5 signs (3.5, 9 and 12 tonnes). We therefore choose the vehicle size to suit the route.

What does the fee for using road space in Wrocław depend on?

According to the City of Wrocław, the fee depends on the type of road section, the road category and the width occupied. Many rates apply per day. The rates quoted come from a publication of January 2023 and should be confirmed with the road authority before the move.

Do I have to pay tolls for the lorry when moving to Poland?

According to etoll.gov.pl, the electronic e-TOLL applies to heavy vehicles in Poland on GDDKiA road sections. It is billed via an account in the system. We clarify this when planning the route, so you do not have to deal with it.

Do I have to deregister in Germany if I move to Wrocław?

Yes, if you no longer have a home in Germany. Under § 17 of the Federal Registration Act, deregistration takes place within two weeks of moving out, no earlier than one week beforehand.

Moving to Wrocław (Breslau): the Rynek, the Oder, the dwarfs and the Centennial Hall

at a glance

Unsere Firma plans your move from Stromstraße 21 in Berlin-Moabit – around 351 km by road to Wrocław, fixed price after a survey.

Wrocław (German: Breslau) is the capital of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship and, after Warsaw and Kraków, the third-largest city in Poland. The city lies on the Oder, and its centre is the market square, the Rynek; all over the city stand the little dwarf figures that go back to the opposition group Orange Alternative. In 2016 Wrocław was European Capital of Culture, and the Centennial Hall of 1913 is a well-known landmark. Anyone planning a move to Wrocław benefits from the short route from Berlin and needs no customs papers within the EU.

We come from Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and drive the lorry around 351 km via the A15 and the Polish A4 to Wrocław; that is about 5.5 hours including a break. Because both countries are in the EU, there are no customs formalities for your household goods. Whether you are moving from Berlin to Wrocław or from Wrocław back to Berlin: we quote the fixed price after a survey. You will find more on the formalities under international move.

How your move to Wrocław works with us

Planning from Berlin, arrival in Lower Silesia

We have no branch in Wrocław; we come by lorry from Berlin-Moabit. That is why we ask about access, floor and stairwell in advance – whether a period building in Nadodrze, a flat in Krzyki or a house in Biskupin. We apply in good time for the permit to stop outside the new address, following the City of Wrocław's rules. We quote the fixed price after the survey; for your belongings we are liable under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre. For your private move we coordinate the date with the handover of the flat.

Packing Service

We pack crockery, books and electronics break-proof for the around 351 km and label every box by its destination room in Wrocław – with our packing service.

Office Move

Files, IT and workstations move to a fixed schedule so that business in Wrocław resumes quickly – with an office move.

Senior Move

When parents move to Wrocław to be near their children, we allow plenty of time and set the furniture back up on arrival day in Wrocław – with a senior move.

Furniture Transport

A piano or display cabinet travels padded and secured, even into a period building in Nadodrze or around the Rynek in Wrocław – with our furniture transport.

FIXED PRICE AFTER A SURVEY

What you can rely on

We quote the fixed price for your move to Wrocław after the survey – with packing, transport over around 351 km, parking permit and assembly as separate items. That way you can see in advance what you are paying for.

Fixed arrival time

With around 5.5 hours on the road by lorry, we fix the loading and arrival times in advance so that you can agree the handover in Wrocław firmly.

Access sorted

We ask about the floor, lift and carrying distances beforehand – whether a period building in Nadodrze or a house in Biskupin – so that enough movers are planned in Wrocław.

Parking outside the door

We apply in good time for the permit to stop, following the City of Wrocław's rules, so that the removal van can stand close to your new flat.

Planned backwards

We plan backwards from moving-in day: notice in Berlin, packing dates, parking permit and departure to match the handover in Wrocław.

Storage if there is a gap

If the flat in Wrocław is not yet free, we put your belongings into interim storage and deliver on the new date.

Ready to move in

Beds and wardrobes are up on arrival day, the boxes are in the right rooms – and you have time for registration (zameldowanie) in Wrocław.

FOR SMALL LOADS

Little to move? Part load!

Ideal for just a few pieces of furniture

For smaller volumes or single items, a shared load to Wrocław can be cheaper: your belongings share the load space with other consignments on the same route. For this you need some flexibility on the delivery day; we will tell you after your enquiry whether a tour towards Wrocław is currently a good fit.

We take care of every detail

A move to Wrocław raises many questions: which district suits you, how does the lorry get into the old town and through lorry zones, by when must you register and how does the e-TOLL system work? This guide introduces districts from the old town via Nadodrze and Biskupin to Krzyki, explains registration, deregistration in Germany and tolls, and describes the around 351 km drive from Berlin. That way you are prepared before the first box is packed.

Planning safe and relaxed

With a schedule worked backwards from moving-in day – notice, parking permit, packing dates – your private move, senior move or student move to Wrocław stays clear, even over around 351 km.

Furniture, boxes, transport routes

Our packing service, padded furniture transport and a free stopping space ensure that furniture arrives without long carrying distances, even in a period building in Nadodrze or around the Rynek in Wrocław; single items travel as a small transport.

Costs, timing and special cases

The cost is determined by volume, floor and the around 351 km route; for small quantities a shared load lowers the price. For an office move, company relocation or furniture taxi to Wrocław we agree fixed time windows.

Frequently asked questions about moving to Wrocław

Costs, districts, registration, tolls, route and liability – answered briefly.

The cost of a move to Wrocław depends on the size of the flat, floor, access and extra services such as packing or furniture assembly – from Berlin it is around 351 km. You will find our guide prices by number of rooms and the price per kilometre in the price overview on this page. At 351 km, loading and unloading are often possible on the same day.

Wrocław's districts: where a move pays off

Wrocław is divided into five boroughs – Stare Miasto (Old Town), Śródmieście, Krzyki, Fabryczna and Psie Pole – which break down into many residential neighbourhoods. The old town with the Rynek, colourful townhouses and Wrocław's dwarfs is central and in demand. The Biskupin neighbourhood in the east has quiet, green streets, while Krzyki in the south has many newer residential buildings.

Psie Pole in the north-east is characterised more by housing estates and commercial areas. If you are looking for an urban feel, you will find period flats near the Oder in Ołbin and Nadodrze. We do not give specific rents – they depend heavily on location and condition. For the move, what counts is access, the floor and the stairwell.

Employers, universities and quality of life in Wrocław

Wrocław is an important business and university centre in Poland. The University of Wrocław and the Wrocław University of Science and Technology (Politechnika Wrocławska) with around 35,000 students attract many young people from Poland and abroad. Copernicus Airport is served by numerous international airlines.

A lively cultural scene along the Oder, the Centennial Hall and green spaces such as Szczytnicki Park add to the quality of life. Many newcomers appreciate the proximity to Germany: from Berlin-Moabit it is only around 351 km via the A15 and the Polish A4, which often makes a move to Wrocław possible in a single day. Some Polish makes dealing with authorities and flat hunting easier.

Getting to Wrocław (Breslau): lorry zones and use of the road

For a move from Berlin to Wrocław (Breslau), access to the building is the key point. The City of Wrocław restricts lorries of 9 tonnes permissible total weight and above within a zone: according to wroclaw.pl, vehicles up to 9 tonnes and public transport have no restriction. For vehicles from 9 to 12 tonnes, entry is temporarily allowed around the clock, but only with a documented destination in the zone and on the designated corridors. Above 12 tonnes, the time windows 4.00 to 6.00, 9.00 to 13.00 and 19.00 to 22.00 apply. According to the city, drivers must carry a document proving the purpose of the journey, such as an order. The city's geoportal shows the signage; for sign B-5 with 18 tonnes, an exemption is only provided for in justified, non-one-off cases.

If you want to occupy the road outside the building for longer, you pay a fee for using the road space. According to the City of Wrocław (page as of January 2023), it depends on the type of road section, the road category and the width occupied. The page does not name a procedure specifically for removals, so coordination takes place in advance with the road authority.

You will find border formalities in the article Moving to Poland: customs and process, and the overview of the route under Long-distance move to Poland.

Wrocław: registration, deregistration in Germany and tolls for the removal lorry

Deregistration in Germany: if you move from Berlin to Wrocław and no longer have a home in Germany, you deregister under § 17 of the Federal Registration Act (BMG) within two weeks of moving out. Deregistration is possible no earlier than one week before moving out.

Registration in Poland (zameldowanie): gov.pl states that EU citizens must register no later than the 30th day after moving in. Anyone staying less than 30 days does not have to register. Registration itself is free of charge. For EU citizens it is also possible online; for this you need a Profil Zaufany (trusted profile) or a qualified electronic signature. You need a valid travel or identity document, proof of your right to live there (for example a tenancy agreement) and the registration form, which is available from the municipal office. For non-EU citizens, gov.pl gives a deadline of four days and no online registration; this does not apply to you if you are an EU citizen. The City of Wrocław groups the information on wroclaw.pl under the residence registration section.

Tolls: according to etoll.gov.pl, Poland charges an electronic toll (e-TOLL) for heavy vehicles on GDDKiA road sections. For this you register in the system, enter the vehicles and choose the payment method. Whether your removal vehicle is affected depends on the vehicle type; we take it into account in the quote for international moves.
