Brzeg for couriers: the Oder, the DK39, the Old Town

Glovo with no slots in the Piast town on the Oder

Halfway between Wroclaw and Opole sits Brzeg, home to 32,724 people (as of 31.12.2025). For now you deliver food here with Glovo, which has not required slot booking since 5 October 2026. When more apps arrive, one settlement partner will let you add them alongside Glovo.

The Oder valley and short distances

Brzeg lies in the Oder valley, about 150 m above sea level, and covers just 16 km², so most runs are short — a bike or e-bike is enough. The Old Town is ringed by 19th-century parks laid out on the former fortifications. Town buses also run across Brzeg.

DK39 through the centre, bypass still on paper

Through traffic on the DK39 still runs right through town. GDDKiA plans an 8.7 km bypass west of Brzeg, from the DK94/DK39 junction, with a bridge of about 700 m over the Oder; it expects to put it out to tender in 2027. In town you cross the river on Most Piastowski (ul. Krakusa).

Old Town, Westerplatte, Rataje, Kępa Młyńska

The 16 km² take in the Old Town, the Westerplatte estate and Rataje, which joined Brzeg in 1973. The former village of Małkowice is now Kępa Młyńska, an island in the Oder the town is redeveloping for a marina. Runs across the river or to the far end of Rataje take longer than central ones.

The Rynek, ul. Długa and the ul. Łokietka retail park

In the centre, find your way by the Rynek with its Renaissance town hall and ul. Długa, a promenade of restored townhouses. The castle stands on pl. Zamkowy. Outside the Old Town, on ul. Łokietka next to Kaufland, there is a retail park that grew from 3,000 to 8,500 m² in 2018.

The Silesian Wawel and its visitors

The Castle of the Silesian Piasts, known as the Silesian Wawel, houses the Museum of Silesian Piasts, and at least 43 members of the dynasty rest in St Hedwig's chapel. The town hall on the Rynek has free tours Tue–Sat. Local industry makes electric motors and confectionery, among other things.

Questions about courier work in Brzeg

Can I work for several apps at once in Brzeg?
For now Glovo is the only delivery app in Brzeg (as of October 2026), so your orders come from one app — but since 5 October 2026 you no longer have to book slots. When other platforms launch in town, the same settlement partner will let you add them alongside Glovo and run several at once.
How much do you take home per hour of deliveries in Brzeg?
You typically take home 25–55 zł an hour — that is after deductions, not gross. With Uber Eats in heavy rain or snow it can reach 60–80 zł/h. Brzeg covers only 16 km², so you rarely lose much time getting from the pick-up to the customer. See what you would keep in the earnings calculator.
Bike or scooter — which works better in Brzeg?
Around the Old Town and the Rynek an ordinary bike is plenty: distances are short and the town sits in the Oder valley. For runs across the river via Most Piastowski, onto Kępa Młyńska or out to Rataje, an e-bike or scooter is quicker. You can also get to your shift by town bus.
Where can a run in Brzeg take longer?
Mostly on the DK39, which carries through traffic across town — the bypass with its new Oder bridge is still being prepared, and GDDKiA plans the tender for 2027. Crossing the river on Most Piastowski and trips to the edge of Rataje also take more time. In winter, allow extra time for these longer routes in particular.
When is it worth switching the app on in Brzeg?
Around lunchtime and after working hours, and for most of the day at weekends — that is when people order most. The castle and town hall draw visitors, especially at weekends, and events in the amphitheatre or matches at the stadium bring extra orders to the centre.
What documents do I need to work as a courier in Brzeg?
An ID card or passport, a PESEL number and a Polish bank account are enough. Non-EU citizens also need a residence card, a visa that allows them to work, or UKR status; for a car or scooter you need a driving licence and the vehicle papers. Everything is uploaded online to the settlement partner. There is no need to travel to an office in Wroclaw or Opole — you send the scans from your phone and start riding around Brzeg with slot-free Glovo.
