Why move to Philadelphia?

Removals To Philadelphia

Removals To Philadelphia

Philadelphia is located in the state of Pennsylvania. With Washington DC and New York only a couple of hours away, it is a busy vibrant city with lots to offer. Famous for the Liberty Hall where the declaration of independence was signed, its name means the city of brotherly love.

The weather is generally warmer than Ireland, with summer days averaging around 26°C and winters rarely dropping below 2°C.

 

Relocating to a new city is always a big step, but moving to a new continent will require a much higher level of planning. To keep things as easy as possible and avoid stress choose a reputable professional  International Moving company with plenty of experience in international removals. At Get Cracking we can provide all the help you need.

 

Before you decide to move, here are some of the things you might want to think about.

 

Housing

Housing costs depend on which part of the city you decide to live in. Renting out of the city center is cheaper and there are many lovely suburbs to choose from. Flats start around €1000 for one bedroom in the city center. But the same type of property out side the city centre starts at € 650.

 

Employment

You may well be moving to take up a new job, but if not, employment prospects are good – assuming you have the necessary paperwork. The top industries are construction and manufacturing. Local government is a major employer and new companies are increasingly expanding into the city.

 

Family life

Philadelphia is a great city for families. You will enjoy outings to museums and the zoo and a  rich cultural life thanks to the city’s excellent theatres and concert halls. One of the most popular places for families to live is Chestnut Hill which has excellent schools and parks.

 

Eating and drinking

You will find first class bars and restaurants throughout the city offering a range of different cuisines. And if you feel homesick you can always drop into one of the city’s many Irish pubs

Expect to pay €10 – €18 for a meal in one of the cheaper restaurant: €2.50 – €4.00 for a pint of local beer.

 

Transport

The city’s transport includes trains and buses as well as trolley buses which are like trams which do not run on rails. You can save money by buying all day and season tickets and family passes. It is the perfect  city for cyclists, with 435 miles of cycle lanes.

 

You can drive with your European driving license initially but will need to get an American one within 12 months or 30 days if you are a student.

 

Planning your next step

 

Once you have made up your mind it is time to start planning your move. At Get Cracking we have the experience to help you. Our services include:

  • Part load and full load
  • Courier and pallet service,
  • Container shipments.

Removals to Toulouse From Dublin

 

Removals To Toulouse

Sitting close to the Spanish border and the capital of the Occitanie region in France, Toulouse is a bustling city with plenty going on. It’s nicknamed the Pink City (La Ville Rose), and with the numerous terra-cotta coloured buildings lining the streets it’s easy to see why!

 

If you’re thinking of relocating to Toulouse you are in for a treat – it’s an impressive place. Amble along the 17th century canal or along the banks of the Garonne River, visit one of the many colourful markets (and sample the appetising fare on offer), or enjoy listening to jazz in one of the numerous bars.

 

Relocating can be an amazing experience, the chance to live in a new city and meet interesting people – but it can also be very stressful. The key to ensuring a smooth move is to plan, prepare and get some help! We’re talking professional help – from a worldwide removals company that have the knowledge and experience to get the job done. We can help you to coordinate removals to Toulouse, let us take the stress out of moving.

 

5 Things You Might Want to Know About the Pink City

Before you pack up all your worldly goods allow us to share with you a few things about the Toulouse.

 

  1. There are local buses and a metro run by a company called Tisséo and you can pay for a single journey, buy a book of tickets in advance or invest in a pass which will allow you unlimited journeys.

 

  1. Toulouse is around 2000 years old. The Celts occupied the city to begin with, followed by the Romans in the year 2AD.

 

  1. Louis XIV created the Canal du Midi back in 1667 – using it as a shortcut from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. The canal in Toulouse stretches 240kn and it’s so impressive it’s been named as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

 

  1. You will find a little bit of Japan in Toulouse! Visit The Jardin Japonais and marvel at the carp in the Koi pond, take in the stone garden and enjoy a pot of tea at the pavilion. This beautiful botanical garden is free to enter, and worth a visit.

 

 

  1. You won’t go hungry in Toulouse – the food here is very tasty (just as you would expect in a French city). We would heartily recommend the French cassoulet, a classic dish comprising of duck confit and, of course, the all-important Toulouse sausage

New Zealand is one of the popular destinations for the Irish nation that are increasingly being decided by those who want to live abroad.
