Moving to Bologna

Moving to Bologna from the UK

Bologna sits in the north of Italy, around 50 miles north of Florence. Around 390,000 people live in the city itself. The wider Metropolitan City of Bologna is home to just over a million.

Bologna is home to the University of Bologna, founded in 1088 and the oldest university in the world. The city is also an important railway and motorway hub, well connected to the rest of Italy. It has its own international airport too, Guglielmo Marconi International Airport, which makes it a practical choice for anyone moving here.

Planning Your Move to Bologna

Abels Moving Services has provided professional, discreet packing and European road removal services for over 50 years. We work with discerning families and professionals moving to Bologna.

Abels runs a modern fleet of removal vehicles. Each one safely transports furniture, personal possessions and motor vehicles. Every vehicle also carries a full alarm system and flat cleanable internal sides. Double-skinned walls protect furniture and limit temperature changes. Air-ride suspension keeps items steady in transit, and each vehicle carries mobile communications and driver and porter facilities.

Abels holds the Royal Warrant to His Majesty The King for Removals and Storage Services, renewed in January 2025. We aim to provide the same level of service to every customer, from first enquiry through to delivery.
