Koscierzyna for couriers: the Rynek, the DK20 bypass, hills

Glovo and Uber Eats in the heart of Kashubia

In this local hub for the surrounding rural districts, home to 23,131 people (as of 31.12.2025), orders are delivered by Uber Eats and Glovo couriers. Since 14 September 2026 Glovo here has not required slot bookings, and with one settlement partner you can run both apps at the same time.

Hills between the lakes

Within the town limits the land lies between 146 and 192 m above sea level, and the centre sits on Princess Gertrude's Hill (over 172 m). Climbs are unavoidable, but there are plenty of cycle paths: per unit of area, Kościerzyna ranks 8th among Polish towns. You need your own bike.

The DK20 bypass since 2017

Since October 2017, through traffic has skirted the town to the south on a 7.6 km bypass on the DK20 (2+1, four junctions, a 122 m rail viaduct). Before that, a peak-hour crossing took up to 45 minutes. The DW214 joins at the Kościerzyna Południe junction, and rail lines 201 and 211 run through town.

A compact town of 16 km²

Kościerzyna covers 15.83 km², so most runs are a few kilometres long. The street grid is set by the Rynek (market square), with eight streets leading out of its corners. The big block estate is Osiedle Tysiąclecia on ul. Kartuska — about 2,100 residents in 23 buildings.

The Rynek and the old brewery

The heart of town is the Rynek, with tenements from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, a fountain and a figure of Remus; the 1843 town hall houses the Kościerzyna Land Museum. Nearby, on ul. Słodowa, the old brewery is now home to shops — worth knowing the access routes and bike spots.

Museums and Kashubian lakes

Almost everyone heading to Kashubia passes through Kościerzyna. The Railway Museum in a former engine shed has been open since 1992, and the Accordion Museum, the first in Poland, holds over 120 instruments. Lakes Gałęźne, Kapliczne and Wierzysko lie just outside town; summer brings tourists.

Questions about delivery work in Koscierzyna

Where can I work as a food delivery rider in Koscierzyna?
In Kościerzyna you can take orders in Uber Eats and Glovo (as of October 2026). Since 14 September 2026 Glovo here has worked without slots, so you log in whenever it suits your day. One settlement partner is enough for both apps. Keep in mind that rejecting orders too often in Glovo can get your account blocked.
How much does a courier earn in Koscierzyna?
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. The town covers under 16 km², so runs from around the Rynek are short and you fit more of them into an hour than in a big city. See what you would keep in the earnings calculator.
Is a regular bike enough for the hills of Koscierzyna?
On the flatter stretches and cycle paths, yes, but the centre sits on a hill and the height difference within town reaches about 45 m. For frequent climbs an e-bike or scooter is better. By car, the DK20 bypass is handy when a run takes you from one end of town to the other.
What should I watch out for on the roads in Koscierzyna?
Kościerzyna is a rail junction on lines 201 and 211, so some routes cross the tracks — it helps to know the detours. Since 2017, through traffic has used the DK20 bypass, but regional roads, including the DW214, still meet in town. In winter and after rain take care going down the hill by the town hall.
Which days and times bring the most orders in Koscierzyna?
Orders usually peak around midday and in the evenings, especially on Fridays, weekends and rainy days. In summer, tourists heading to Kashubia and staying by the nearby lakes add to the demand — on warm weekends it pays to keep the app on in the afternoon too.
How long does courier registration take in Koscierzyna?
The settlement partner’s online form takes a few minutes; then you upload documents and sign an umowa zlecenie. Uber Eats usually activates you within 24–72 hours, while with Glovo and Wolt it depends on current recruitment in the city. Once your account is active in Kościerzyna, you can combine Uber Eats with slot-free Glovo straight away.
