The city is the largest financial centre in Europe and it is the transport and financial centre of Germany for some time now. There are some famous banks in Frankfurt, which helped to establish the city, such as the German Federal Bank, the European Central Bank, the Frankfurt Trade Fair and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange together with other large commercial banks.
The city’s airport is the busiest international airport in the world and the Frankfurt Central Station is one of the largest terminal stations in Europe. In addition to this, the world’s largest internet traffic exchange point is at Frankfurt’s DE-CIX.
Frankfurt is considered a global city, ranked 10th and 11th among financial centres because of the international influence it represents in finance, commerce, culture, education, tourism and transport. It was also ranked seventh in the world for the quality of living.
There are three major supports to Frankfurt’s success. These are finance, trade fairs and cars.
As most people know, Frankfurt’s is the home of some major brokerages and banks such as Frankfurt’s Stock Exchange that is one of the largest and most important in the world. The European Central Bank is the one that sets monetary policy for the Eurozone and many other major influences in the economic sector.
The city also has an amazingly good transport infrastructure that being the famous airport and the Autobahn interchange motorway named Frankfurter Kreuz, which is heavily used in Europe. Adding to that, Frankfurt has three major railway stations that are used for high-speed ICE trains. These are Frankfurt South station, Frankfurt Central station and Frankfurt Airport long-distance station.

Examples are worldwide known events such as the Frankfurt Book Fair for the book enthusiasts, the Musikmesse that is the world’s biggest music fair and the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Frankfurt also has a vast cultural and educational experience, being the home of many such institutions. An example would be the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences or the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University but also plenty of wonderful museums and two major botanical gardens.
Another characteristic of Frankfurt is the multitude of skyscrapers in the city’s centre, putting the city on the same list as London, Milan, Madrid and others that have such a skyline. Because of these, Germans sometimes call Frankfurt Mainhattan.
If you’re ever in need of a new job there is a good chance you will find one that suits you in Frankfurt. The city’s concentration of jobs is the highest in Germany.

Removals to Italy20/02/2025 - 16:26
Don’t Experiment
Any house removal benefits from both previous experience and meticulous planning. Typically, for most of us, the only way to apply experience to the whole process is in the removal company that we select. Many of us will have experience of moving house at least once and quite possibly more, but with these experiences commonly being spread over a period of many years, the knowledge we acquire is not very often put to practical use.
When moving abroad, such as when moving to Germany or moving to Switzerland, the knowledge and experience required becomes even further specialised. At European Removal Experts, our service is aimed at providing a removal service that will navigate the additional complications and pitfalls you may encounter by moving abroad.
When moving to Germany from any location in the British Isles, you can benefit from either dedicated vehicles and an experienced team offering a full removal service to partial loads put into a cost effective shared container, we are able to fulfil these needs.
With vast experience and an in depth knowledge of both customs procedures and the local laws and regulations that may affect your move, we are able to ensure that your belongings move easily between Europe and the UK. In addition to moving to Germany and other European countries, we also cater for removals from Europe back to the UK.
Collections can be arranged from anywhere in the UK and our service offers door to door delivery of either a handful of items which could be either valuable or large and difficult to move or a full house move. Any of these deliveries are handled on a regular basis. What this means is that the safety of your possessions and the swift transportation of them to your new home are regarded as a matter of course.
Belgium – Truly Cosmopolitan
Europe is a world leader for its cultural diversity, and this is in part thanks to a long history of immigration between nations; however, some parts of Europe are particularly cosmopolitan – and a nation such as Belgium is uniquely so, thanks to its rich diversity of cultures and languages.
One of the reasons why Belgium is so culturally rich is due to the diversity of official languages, and associated cultural input. Anyone moving to Belgium will immediately notice that there is no single dominant language and Dutch, French and German are spoken and taught in schools as official languages.
To confound the matter there are also loads of minority languages spoken there as well, including “Walloon“ and even Yiddish. This prevalence of diverse languages in the nation might seem daunting to anyone moving to Belgium from the UK, maybe with nothing more than a bit of GCSE French to go on, however, instead, it should comfort the British emigre that Belgium is so welcoming of immigrants to the nation.
As well as a diversity of languages, Belgium enjoys a truly unique culture; and the cuisine of Belgium, for example, greatly benefits from a variety of cultural influences; and in particular there is a strong influence from French cooking styles – which can only be a good thing!
So, whilst Belgium mightn’t be the top of your list for European destinations, moving to Belgium could be the portal onto a truly satisfying life – amongst one of the most special and diverse cultures on the planet!
Crossing the Channel
It was once the case that where the English channel is now, Britain and France where actually connected by a landmass; therefore we were once essentially one nation. This makes the decision to emigrate to France seem especially sensible, and it is still the case that we and the French share a lot in common, which should make moving to France not too daunting!
Anyone moving to France will immediately realise that whilst there are some obvious cultural differences, there is enough in common between France and England that moving shouldn’t be too much of a hassle. For example, you’ll find all of the high street stores, pretty much all of the food you know and love from England.
The proximity of France also means that if you ever do grow to miss the little idiosyncrasies of Grand Bretagne, you’re never a couple of hours away by Eurostar. This means that it is both practically and financially viable to have the odd weekend visiting your homeland – it’s just like the two nations are linked again!
Of course the beauty of moving to a different nation is that as well as the comforting similarities with your homeland, there is also a wealth of new culture and new experiences on offer. Anyone relocating to France in particular will be greeted by lots of wonderful cultural traits, such as world class art galleries and of course the food!
The Benefits of Moving to Germany
Many people from Britain have moved abroad to work over recent years, some to European countries and others further afield, to Australia and New Zealand for example.
Although these two antipodean nations are seen as the favourite choice for Britons seeking a new life, a lot of people are moving to Germany and other European countries with their jobs.
This has many benefits, the main one being it is a lot easier to get back to the UK from mainland Europe. Although you may feel that you are leaving the country behind when you are planning on moving to Germany or moving to France, there will be occasions when you need to return home. It’s something we don’t like to think about, but our parents aren’t getting any younger are they?
When you are thinking about moving to Germany, you can be assured that if you do need to get home in a hurry for whatever reason you are just a couple of hours flight away.
Now we have sorted that particular aspect out, how much thought have you given to the actual logistics of moving to Germany? Have you organised a company to take care of moving your furniture and other belongings yet? If not, you need to make sure that the company you choose has plenty of experience in this field because the last thing you need once you arrive at your new home is to find that your possessions have been damaged or broken in transit.
European Removal Experts are the experts, so make sure you talk to them when planning your move abroad.
Moving to Arnhem
Arnhem is one of the largest cities in the eastern half of Netherlands, also serving, from an administrative point of view, as capital to the history-laden province of Gelderland. Its history was one of fast and impressive development, partly due to the fact that it has two rivers crossing through it: Nederrijn and Sint-Jansbeek. The population itself contributed to said development and the numbers didn’t lag behind, so that, today, the city counts about 150,000 inhabitants, according to a January-1st-2012 estimate. That number, though, accounts for less than a quarter of the total number of residents in the metropolitan area Arnhem-Nijmegen that the city of Arnhem is part of.
And speaking of history-laden places, the city of Arnhem, first recorded as early as 893 under such names as Arneym or Arentheym, is certainly no stranger to them. With traces of human inhabitation going back in time even further, it would be safe to say the city is actually of ancient origins, or even older, considering that the most impressive archaeological finds date from the stone age, making what is today Arnhem the likely residence of Neanderthal humans.
And from that point onward the history of the town has had many episodes worth mentioning, starting with its establishment as a full-fledged city, back in 1233 and ending with the famous battle of Arnhem in September 1944. Said battle is a landmark of both the city’s history and its culture, as, in addition to being officially commemorated every year on September 17th, it was also skilfully dramatized in the highly-acclaimed, award-winning 1977 film A Bridge Too Far.
Still, history is by no means the only point of attraction in this charming town turned glamorous city. As early as the XIX century, Arnhem had earned the reputation of a peaceful, quiet, and altogether idyllic place of retirement or holiday, appropriately dubbed “The Little Hague of the East”. In addition to its regular population, the place was also home to rich people, most of which had earned their fortunes either from trading sugar or from having had plantations in the Indies. When such people decided to make Arnhem their home, naturally they contributed to its development and prosperity, visible even today in such contrasting aspects as the abundance of parks and green areas versus the pronounced urbanization of its northern part, a feat that is rather rare in the Netherlands.
Similar contrasts also occur with the most important tourist attractions in the town. Some of them are vestiges of the city’s history and have retained only some of their former glory, whereas others are displays of an open-minded attitude combining with state-of-the-art technology. The former includes the XVI century St Eusebius church and the house of Maarten van Rossum, currently serving as town hall. The later category boasts such items as the Netherlands Open Air Museum, the Burgers’ Zoo, and the Gelredome, a football stadium that ended up serving as a model for other cities too, both in Europe and the US.
Thinking of moving to Arnhem? Don’t hesitate any more! We can help!

Things You Should Know Before Moving to France
France is one of the world’s most beautiful countries, with stunning scenery, thriving cities and friendly village communities. If you’ve made the decision to make the move to France then you’re at the beginning of an exciting journey. But, even though it’s extremely exciting, moving to a foreign country takes a lot of preparation. Here’s what you should know before moving to France.
• Before moving to France, you should spend some time in the area you wish to live in. Take some time to explore the local area, look into local amenities, and investigate the public transport routes. This will make settling in much easier when you do move.
• Relocating to France requires a lot of paperwork, and you will need to show a lot of official documents. These may include your birth certificate, passport, drivers licence, bank details and payroll slips. The more documents you have, the smoother your move will be.
• Plan to have your possessions moved to France as early as possible. Choose a company that has a lot of experience in performing furniture removals to France and who are up to date on the laws and regulations to do with moving furniture internationally.
• When you move to France, every item you take with you has to go through customs and be declared. You will need an inventory of all your possessions in both French and English, a document verifying that your items are for personal use and receipts for all your more expensive items.
Is it Permitted?
We all know Switzerland from films and stories. A land of snow capped mountains, picturesque wooden chalets, alpine horns and cowbells. Some may have holidayed there in the winter and enjoyed the skiing or perhaps gone in the summer and travelled on the world famous narrow gauge railways. Although it is known as a European playground how many have ever considered moving to Switzerland?
The answer is probably not many. Although it grants citizens from the EU some special privileges, automatic residential rights are not one of them. In fact, unless you are an independently wealthy person, it is not easy for anyone considering moving to Switzerland.
To live in Switzerland it is necessary to hold a residency permit.
The basic is a B permit. This is an annual residency permit which has to be renewed every year and has restrictions as to what you can do such as owning property or working.
If you are an EU citizen, then you can obtain a CE permit which is similar to a B permit but allows you more freedom such as being able to buy property and be self employed.
After living in Switzerland for 5 – 10 years it is possible to apply for a C permit. This is a full residency permit.
If you are financially independent with an income in excess of £38,000 and wish to be there for more than 180 days a year, then obtaining the necessary permits should not be a problem.
Those moving to Switzerland are not only able to enjoy the picture postcard scenery but also beneficial tax laws and one of the highest standards of living in Europe.
We at European Removal Experts may not be able to assist you in obtaining a resident’s permit but we can ensure that your move will run like a Swiss watch.
Holland: More than just a Great Weekend Destination!
A city like Amsterdam has a strong reputation as a weekend destination, however there is much more to Holland than great weekend breaks! And moving to Holland could be one of the best life decisions that you will ever make.
Firstly, on a technical point, Holland is actually the name of a Western part of the Netherlands, however in this instance – and quite commonly – Holland shall mean the Netherlands! And with this in mind, it really is true to say that there is more to Holland than you think.
Of course Amsterdam alone is a good reason for moving to Holland, with its unrivalled nightlife, its laid back attitude and its impressive cultural credentials; however, whilst anyone moving to Holland will fall in love with Amsterdam, there is more to the Netherlands than one city.
In stark contrast to the bright lights and bicycles of Amsterdam, the Netherlands is also home to some of the most unique landscapes in the whole of Europe; and in fact much of what is now known as the Netherlands has been reclaimed from the sea – which means that a large part of Holland is in fact below sea-level.
This, combined with open expanses, makes Holland a truly awe inspiring place to live – and that’s why relocating to Holland could be the best decision you ever make!
Of course, whilst Holland may be a short flight away, moving your possessions there will still be a challenge – which is where European Removal Experts comes in. We have a strong commitment to getting you to exactly wherever you want to be in Europe.
