What do i need to consider when moving to Berlin?

With a little preparation and the right partner, any move can be done well. To help you plan your move, we have created a move checklist. It is universal, but of course it also supports you when you move to the German capital. Here you can read, for example, what you can already be doing in the weeks before the move and which service providers you should inform about your change of address. In addition, you will find valuable tips on how to go to the residents’ registration office or the car registration office.

Berlin is the largest of the German cities in terms of area and covers almost 900 square kilometers. The German capital is divided into 12 districts, each of which comprises smaller neighborhoods. A very nice detailed overview of the Berlin neighborhoods is provided by visitberlin.de. In general, it is probably a good idea to discover the city as a traveler before you move there. Nonetheless, many people ask themselves: Where should I move to in Berlin? Here are a few key points about each district:

  • Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg: Cool vibes, colorful cultural life, high density of clubs
  • Mitte: Center of Berlin, Nikolai Quarter with Nikolai Church, Museum Island
  • Reinickendorf: Mixture of villa districts and simple settlements, industry and local recreation with beautiful lakes

What does a move to Berlin cost?

The cost of moving to Berlin depends mainly on two things: the distance between the place of origin and the destination and the volume of items and furniture transported. In the table below, we have listed the approximate costs for typical moves from other cities to Berlin.

Important to note: Although the prices cover a large part of the moves, we will calculate the costs for your personal move individually and according to your wishes. For example, if you have pets moving with you or a valuable piano that has to go up 4 flights of stairs, we will also take this into account.
