Moving to Rome

Moving to Rome from the UK

Rome sits in the central-western part of Italy, and it’s the country’s capital. Around 2.75 million people live in the city itself. The wider Metropolitan City of Rome is home to over 4.2 million.

Rome’s landmarks need little introduction. St Peter’s Square, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Pantheon all sit within the city. Centuries of history are layered into everyday life here. It’s a big, lively city, and moving here gives you a genuinely different pace of life to the UK.

Planning Your Move to Rome

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 Rome.

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.

Our Italy country guide covers export packing, customs, and shipping timelines in full detail. Get in touch and we’ll talk you through exactly what your move to Rome involves.
