Let the Experts Handle Your Move Abroad

Moving house is always a stressful occasion because of all the planning that has to go into the move. If you want it to go as smoothly as possible you will have placed smaller items in boxes which are marked with the contents, so when they arrive at the other end you know exactly what is in each box. This is fine with the smaller items in the house, but when you add in the physical aspect of the process – all that shifting and carrying of heavy furniture – and it becomes clear why people are using professionals to do the job for them.

If you are moving to another place in the UK the day can be a bit of an ordeal, so imagine if you are moving to France or moving to Holland to start a new life? There are so many more obstacles to deal with when you are moving abroad, whether you are moving to France to retire to a new life in the country or moving to Holland with your job, so why not let the professionals take care of every aspect of this. All you have to do once your house is cleared is get in the car and make your own way to your new address, where you will meet the team who will then take care of unloading your furniture.

So if you are moving to France or moving to Holland – in fact just about any country in Europe – let the experts take care of the moving process for you.

Holland’s Hidden Gems

The Netherlands is one of the most unique and memorable holiday destinations on the whole planet – let alone Europe. Therefore, anybody that decides to take the plunge by moving to Holland, will find that they are never stuck for amazing places to visit and things to do!

Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is a famous holiday destination. Whilst it may have a reputation for stag weekends and red light districts  there is actually much more to the city than this, making it one of the most culturally fascinating locations on the planet. For example, you might want to chill out in one of Amsterdam’s many coffee houses, or take a boat ride on one of its famous canals.

Anyone moving to Holland will never be more than a couple of hours train ride from the capital. However, whilst Amsterdam might be the cultural heart of the Netherlands, Holland is much more than its capital, and there is plenty to do and see outside of Amsterdam.

For example, if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam but still want to experience a city that is quintessentially Dutch, then you’ll absolutely love Utrecht, which is a favourite holiday destination amongst the natives. It is an especially idyllic destination for anybody that loves history, and as the oldest city in Holland and the former imperial residence, it is a destination that is absolutely packed with cultural and historical intrigue – an absolute must visit for anybody relocating to Holland.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, and Holland is a country that is gull of things to see and do for all tastes, and anyone lucky enough to be moving to Holland will encounter a unique country that their bound to fall in love with!

Holland – A Vibrant Country

If you are moving to Holland with your job, or planning to look for a new job when you get there, the chances are you will be relocating to one of the major cities. It will obviously be a major advantage if you speak Dutch, but if you don’t – or perhaps you are in the process of learning the language – then you won’t have to worry too much. In the major cities of Holland, you will find that many people speak English which will make the transition a lot easier for you and your family.

The majority of people who are moving to Holland do so for reasons connected to their job, unlike those who are planning on moving to France, for example. Most of those who go to live in France from the UK are doing so for the lifestyle, perhaps after taking early retirement. The Netherlands is a vibrant country with a relatively sound ecomony – although it has suffered along with just about every country in the world due to the fall out from the credit crunch – and this is the reason why many British people are moving to Holland.

Whatever your reasons are for relocating to Holland, you will want to ensure that the company which handles your move has a professional approach, and this is why people who are relocating choose European Removal Experts. Whether you are moving to Holland, moving to France or moving within the UK, they will make the day go as smoothly as possible, allowing you to focus on the new life you have planned.

Holland is home to a fantastic variety of cultural sights and sounds, including a wide range of art galleries and museums.

Amsterdam is also home to the Rijksmuseum, the most famous paintings of which include masterpieces by Vermeer and Rembrandt’s Night Watch. Also to be found in the city is the Van Gogh Museum. Amsterdam is also big on performing arts, with sites including the Heineken Music Hall, the Stadsschouwburg theatre and a world-class symphony orchestra. The city is also home to a wide range of festivals and events, including the Gay Pride parade of boats in the canals each August.

Outside of Amsterdam, Holland continues to offer a series of cultural attractions. Head to The Hague, where you can visit the Mauritshuis, a former 17th century palace where works by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Jan Steen can be viewed. Alternatively, visit the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag modern art museum, which has a collection consisting of works by Picasso, Kandinsky, Mondrian, Monet and Van Gogh. In nearby Rotterdam, meanwhile, the most obvious arts and cultural hotspot is the Museumpark, where you can find the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, with its collection of art spanning the period from the late Middle Ages until 1945. Music festivals include the “Festival aan de Werf” in Utrecht, in addition to festivals and events dedicated to everything from music, sports, films, art and dance to the humble domino.

Amsterdam-age

Apparently teenage dreams are hard to beat. It’s doubtful that your teenagers are dreaming of a move to Holland; uprooting and leaving their friends, schools and social life completely behind. But if a great move is on the cards for your family, here’s a little juicy information about Amsterdam to reassure your kids that moving to Holland doesn’t have to be all about clogs and tulips!

Getting Around
The Dutch love bicycles. Simply put, Holland is quite flat so cycling is easy. Cycle paths are numerous and well-used, vehicle drivers are polite, and bicycles are inexpensive. Similarly to Japan, cycling around both your hometown and cities is a common form of transport.

Language
Moving to Holland brings you and your family up against that whole language barrier issue, against which we Brits generally panic and behave like a little group of clucking hens (mostly through embarrassment) until someone speaks to us in English and is they become our new best and most trusted friend. The fact is that the lovely folk of Amsterdam, on the whole, speak some English. Signs, warnings etc are usually written in English too, so the kids aren’t going to feel like they stick out more than giant alien spiders on their adventures.

Exploring
Entertainment, clubs, music venues, shopping, street fairs, nice big parks to hang out in and moan about society – Amsterdam is very, very much a city for the young. Of course the standard museums etc (are actually anything but standard) exist for you too. Reassuring your teenagers that relocating to Holland is exciting is crucial to everyone’s happiness, so… pre-move trip to Amsterdam anyone?

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.

Reasons to Relocate

These days, relocation is on the rise. It isn’t hard to see why either as moving abroad can be a fantastic decision, and if you’re thinking of moving yourself here are a few reasons to tip the scales.

• The food. England isn’t always known for its top-class food, but France certainly is. All you gourmets out there will be in your element if you considered moving to France, and you can experience the delights of French cuisine every single day.

• The scenery. We do have some spectacular scenery in the UK, but can it really rival the Alps? If you have a love of skiing or of breathtaking views then moving to France or Switzerland could well be for you.

• The culture. You’ve lived in the UK all your life, so you know what it’s all about. But are you familiar with the cultures of the Netherlands, Switzerland or Germany? If you’d like to experience something completely different, then moving to Holland could be a great idea.

• The way of life. Britain is an incredibly fast paced society, and sometimes it’s nice to just sit back and take stock of everything. By relocating abroad, perhaps by relocating to Holland or Switzerland, you’ll be able to enjoy a much more peaceful way of life – particularly if you choose somewhere off the beaten track.

These are just a few reasons that you should relocate, and there are many more besides. So what are you waiting for? Pick your country and start your new life abroad, and remember to get in touch with us here at European Removal Experts to make the whole process as stress-free as possible.
