Moving to Norway

Moving to Norway? Contact us About our Norway Relocation Service

 
Norway is a country of breath taking magnificence that offers so much for people moving to the country. Whether you are looking to move to enjoy the snow and skiing or to bask in rolling mountain ranges and beautiful lakes, there are a thousand reasons to move to Norway. Norway comprises the western part of Scandinavia in Northern Europe. The rugged coastline, broken by huge fjords and thousands of islands, stretches 25,000 kilometres.

The southern and western parts of Norway experience more precipitation and have milder winters than the southeastern part. The lowlands around Oslo have the warmest and sunniest summers but also cold weather and snow in wintertime (especially inland).

Just because you’re moving to Norway doesn’t mean your move will be any more
complicated than if you were moving down the road! Apak’s European team has
brilliant experience when it comes to making your move to Norway as easy and
stress free as possible.

Don’t worry about customs, borders and red tape. We’ve done it all before and
it will all be sorted for you. We can provide advice and services for packing,
transportation, insurance, any applicable customs regulations, storage and all our
other services.

When you contact our Office our European planning department can provide you
with three options. You can choose to have sole use of one of our state of the art
vehicles, choose a Special Part Load Service where you specify dates for collection
and delivery or finally and the most economical service a part load groupage
service where several customers contents are grouped together and share the
same vehicle (Delivery dates need to be flexible for this service as the service
depends on how quickly consignments are consolidated).

APAK currently have three state of the art vehicles departing for Europe weekly so
if you have a small or part load we can guarantee the best value for money service.

Our removal services for Norway cover all of the countries regions. Below is some
information on a few of the most popular destinations that are becoming the new
homes for UK residents right now!
 

Oslo Relocation Services

 
The capital and largest city in Norway, Oslo is home to 1,442,318 people, and is at the heart of the international business world. With people relocating to Oslo from all over the world, this expanding city is a hive of culture, cuisine, the arts and fashion. In 2011, Oslo was named as the fastest growing city in Europe, and its importance to European commerce is set to grow considerably.

There’s a lot to tempt those considering moving from the UK to Oslo – with museums ranging from the Munch Museum (which houses the iconic ‘Scream’ painting) to the Nobel Peace Centre, and some of the world’s most breathtaking architecture, from the avant-garde Opera House to the 13th century Akershus Castle.

Despite The city’s northerly location, Oslo’s climate is relatively mild throughout the year because of the Gulf Stream, and is close to that of the UK, with mild summers and only moderate rainfall. APAK International Removal Services to Oslo ensure that when you arrive you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the northern sunshine while we deal with all the legwork.

Bergen Relocation Services

 
Norway’s second largest city, with 388,200 residents, Bergen is a historic cultural centre with a thriving arts community, and was named as one of nine millennial European Cities of Culture. It is also Norway’s largest port, and thanks to its booming maritime industries and undersea research institutes, is commonly called the ‘secret capital’ of Norway. Moving to Bergen is being seen as a way for British companies to participate in its thriving industry.

Although it is a small city, Bergen is packed with world-class arts and entertainment, and hosts the annual Bergen International Festival (Festspillene i Bergen). The city is also home to the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 1765 and one of the world’s oldest orchestral institutions. With more and more people relocating to Bergen, there has never been a better time to enjoy the unique delights of Norway’s second city.

Despite the city’s northerly location, Bergen’s weather is relatively mild. In winter, Bergen is among the warmest cities in Norway, thanks to the Gulf Stream. Bergen is actually further north than the snowbound Russian city of St Petersburg, yet thanks to the Gulf Stream, it is significantly warmer. Moving to Bergen from the UK means enjoying the sense of space and crispness found in the far north, but without the frostbite.

Trondheim Relocation Services

 
Trondheim has a population of 173,486 and is the third largest city in Norway, though its small size is one of its greatest assets as it sits in some of the most breathtaking surroundings in the country and offers its residents a truly unique home. Relocating to Trondheim is a great way to take advantage of the best that Norwegian culture has to offer.

Originally named Kaupangen, or ‘market place’ by the Viking King Olav Tryggvason in 997, Trondheim was frequently used as the seat of the king, and was capital of Norway until 1217. The city’s heritage is apparent, so those moving to Trondheim from the UK are welcomed by the traditional Old Town Bridge, and can expect to spend their days among the centuries old buildings with their distinctive Norwegian character.

Trondheim’s climate is a fraction cooler than the UK, but thanks to its sheltered position, it does not feel the bite of the arctic winds. Those moving to Trondheim find that the city is at its most beautiful in winter, and that the many warm, cosy cafes and restaurants more than make up for the chill in the air.

Stavanger Relocation Services

 
With a population of 173,486 Stavanger is not the largest of cities, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for with its thriving international business community and outstanding access to some of the most beautiful coastline in the world. APAK International Removal Services to Stavanger are specially designed to help you start enjoying this thriving city without the hassle of red tape and legwork.

Stavanger’s Old Town, with its distinctive wooden buildings, sits next to the modern city centre. Careful town planning ensures that residents have easy access to the town’s unique facilities, such as the open air fruit and vegetable market, which is one of very few traditional markets in Norway where produce is available directly from local farmers every working day of the year. Those who move to Stavanger will find many such charming additions to their lives waiting for them.

The discovery of oil in the North Sea revolutionised Stavanger. Thanks to its location, close to the oil-fields, and its top-class harbour and airport, Stavanger was well-positioned to take advantage of the oil boom. Now Stavanger finds itself at the heart of the renewable energy industry, with many highly skilled workers relocating to Stavanger.
