Booking your flight

Once you have a place to live, then you have to worry about getting from Berlin to Paris. The fastest way to get from point A to point B would be to fly. There are many low cost airlines that fly that route daily, such as Easy Jet and Transavia, as well as bigger airlines, like Lufthansa and Air France. If, for some reason, you wish to steer clear of airports, then there are train routes from Berlin to Paris that take eight hours minimum to complete the journey. Another idea may be to rent a car and drive the 11 hours, that way you can also check out the lush German countryside along the way.

Seeing the last bucket list places in Berlin

Before you go, be sure to soak up the last of your favorite Berlin spots.

Booking your transportation to the airport

Moving day is finally here! It’s no secret that moving is stressful, so you better make sure to be there early for your flight or train to ensure that you and all your belongings make it to Paris in one piece. The best way to get dropped off at your next destination is to book a transfer with Welcome Pickups. They cost the same as taking a taxi to the airport, except they offer the added benefits of having English speaking drivers, prepaid flat fees, flight monitoring for delays, and 24/7 customer support.

Settling in to your new city

In your neighborhood, it’s good to locate the nearby supermarkets, banks, restaurants, and shops, just to give yourself a feel of where you’re living. Paris also has a great metro and bus system, making it easy to get around and see all the sights that are located farther away from your apartment.
