Considering a Move to Brussels?

Moving to Brussels from the UK

Brussels is the capital of Belgium. It splits into 19 municipalities that together make up the Brussels-Capital Region, home to around 1.26 million people. The wider Brussels metropolitan area, extending into the surrounding Flemish and Walloon regions, is home to around 2.8 million.

Brussels is known internationally as the de facto capital of the European Union. The city is also home to NATO’s headquarters. A comprehensive tram and bus network covers Brussels, making it a convenient city to settle into once you’ve moved.

Planning Your Move to Brussels

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 Brussels.

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.
