Heerlen is in the Parkstad Limburg urban region of South Limburg, close to both the German and Belgian borders. The city built its identity on coal mining, which ended in the 1970s. Since then it has reinvented itself as a tech and higher education hub. Zuyd University of Applied Sciences (Hogeschool Zuyd) is based in the Heerlen-Sittard-Geleen corridor, as is the international Open University of the Netherlands (OUNL). Most people searching for a moving company Heerlen are relocating for Zuyd University roles, industrial positions in the Chemelot-adjacent south Limburg economy, or choosing Heerlen as an affordable base in the Aachen-Maastricht-Heerlen tri-border region.
The Eurotunnel road from Folkestone through Belgium is the most direct UK route. Folkestone to Calais takes 35 minutes. Heerlen is roughly four hours from the Channel via Liège and the E25.
