New to Basel or CH? Here's How to Make Your Move a Little Easier

Moving to a new country is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. Whether you've relocated for work, family or a fresh start, settling into Basel comes with plenty of questions.

Where do you live?

How do you furnish your apartment?

Who do you call when something needs to be assembled or moved?

The good news?

You're not the first, and you don't have to do it all yourself!

Welcome to Basel

Basel is one of Switzerland's most international cities. With its thriving pharmaceutical industry, world class universities and location on the borders of Switzerland, France and Germany, thousands of people move here every year.

It's a fantastic place to live, but getting settled can take time.

From collecting furniture from IKEA to figuring out recycling rules, or simply finding someone reliable to hang your pictures, there's always a list of jobs waiting to be done.

The First Few Weeks Can Be Busy and Stressful (but they dont need to be)

Most new arrivals quickly realise that moving in is only half the job.

Once you've got the keys, there's usually a long to-do list:

• Building flat-pack furniture

• Hanging curtains, mirrors and artwork

• Mounting TVs and shelves

• Moving furniture between rooms

• Disposing of cardboard and packaging

• Clearing unwanted furniture

• Organising storage

• Giving the garden or balcony some attention

  
  

It's easy to underestimate how long these jobs take, especially when you're also dealing with paperwork, work commitments and learning your way around a new city.
