Movers in Żoliborz

Leafy streets, pre-war villas and interwar apartment buildings give Żoliborz a character that is hard to find anywhere else in Warsaw. On moving day, though, that often means steep stairs, no lift and tight turns on the landings. For a flat in a building like that we usually recommend the Standard package with two movers for 490 zł / 2 h, or Comfort for 600 zł / 2 h if you would like us to handle the packing too. For just a few pieces of furniture, Mini with one mover for 390 zł / 2 h is enough. If the other address is also in Warsaw, the base rate is fixed and you pay per started hour, with a two-hour minimum. A surcharge is only possible for the 5th floor or higher without a lift, and we agree it by phone.

Żoliborz is more varied than the postcards suggest, though. Around plac Wilsona and in Żoliborz Oficerski and Dziennikarski, villas and low-rise cooperative buildings dominate, often with a front garden and a gate onto the street. Sady Żoliborskie and Marymont-Potok are mostly communist-era blocks surrounded by greenery, with parking between the buildings. Then there are the newer apartment buildings with underground car parks and a reception desk. For a villa, tell us in the notes whether the van can pull up right at the gate; for a block, give the stairwell number and say whether there is a lift. On the narrow, tree-lined streets the crew sometimes has to park a little way from the door, so a clear description of the access and parking spot really does shorten the move.

The quickest ways out of Żoliborz are Wisłostrada along the river or ulica Mickiewicza towards the centre. Most Gdański takes you over to Praga-Północ and Targówek, but it can be badly jammed in the morning rush – for a move to the right bank, pick a later slot or choose “Any time”. We also often head next door to Bielany and further north to Łomianki. Once the other address is outside Warsaw, as Łomianki is, the price in the form is an estimate and a manager confirms the final amount by phone. We match the vehicle to your load: a studio fits in the Mercedes Sprinter, a two- or three-room flat in the Ford Transit, and a villa with a cellar and attic goes in the Iveco tarp truck. The hourly rate is the same whichever one we use.
