Kostrzyn nad Odrą for couriers: the border, two bridges, the fortress

Glovo with no slots where the Warta meets the Oder

On the German border, where the Warta flows into the Oder, lies Kostrzyn nad Odrą, home to 17,261 people (as of 31.12.2025). You deliver food with Glovo, which has not required slot booking since 5 October 2026. When other apps arrive, the same settlement partner will let you add them alongside Glovo.

By the Warta wetlands, a new bridge for cyclists

Kostrzyn sits at the mouth of the Warta, on the western edge of the Warta wetlands. For regular work it is best to have your own bike or e-bike. Since October 2025 you can cross the Warta on the DK31 (ul. Sikorskiego) via a new 300 m bridge, which has also made things easier for pedestrians and cyclists.

DK22 to the border, DK31 and a bypass under way

The DK22 starts on the border bridge over the Oder and runs to Gorzow. Per GDDKiA (2022), the old bridge is in poor shape and takes cars only; a new one will go about 50 m closer to the rail bridge. Since 2025 a 9.2 km DK31 bypass has been under construction to take through traffic out of town.

The New Town and estates across 46 km²

Kostrzyn covers 46.17 km². Most addresses are in the New Town, which grew up around the railway junction in the 19th century, and on estates like Mieszka I, Słowiańskie, Leśne, Warniki or nad Wartą. The Old Town by the border is now mostly fortress ruins, and paper mills operate in the west of town.

Vendo Park at ul. Prosta and ul. Sportowa

Since late 2024, Vendo Park has stood at the corner of ul. Prosta and ul. Sportowa: about 5,200 m² of shops (Aldi, Action, Hebe, RTV Euro AGD and more) and 196 parking spaces, so a quick stop is easy. The places you pick food up from are in the New Town, which is today's centre of Kostrzyn.

The fortress, the border and the former Woodstock

The fortress ruins lie on the headland between the Oder and the Warta; the Kostrzyn Fortress Museum is at ul. Graniczna 1, and Bastion Filip is open Tuesday to Sunday. Pol'and'Rock was held here from 2004 to 2019, but in 2026 the festival took place in Czaplinek-Broczyno, not in Kostrzyn.

Questions about courier work in Kostrzyn nad Odrą

Does Glovo in Kostrzyn nad Odrą work without slots?
Yes. Since 5 October 2026 Glovo in Kostrzyn nad Odrą no longer requires slot booking, so you decide when to ride. For now it is the only food delivery app in town (as of October 2026). If more arrive, you can add them through the same settlement partner.
What is the hourly rate for a courier in Kostrzyn nad Odrą?
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. In Kostrzyn you currently ride with Glovo only, so what counts is how many orders you catch in that one app — with no waiting for a free slot. Work out your own figure in the earnings calculator.
Bike or scooter for Kostrzyn's estates?
For short runs around the New Town and estates like Mieszka I or Słowiańskie, a bike or e-bike is enough. A scooter or car helps on longer trips across the town's 46 km². You cross the Warta on the new DK31 bridge, which is also comfortable for cyclists.
Where can a run in Kostrzyn nad Odrą take longer?
Mainly on the DK31 and DK22, which carry through traffic across town until the bypass opens — work on the 9.2 km road began in 2025 and is set to take 39 months. Trips to the outskirts and towards the border also take longer, so in winter leave yourself extra time for them.
Are there orders in the evenings and at weekends in Kostrzyn nad Odrą?
Yes — after working hours and at weekends people order more often than in the middle of a weekday. On Saturdays and Sundays Bastion Filip and the Berlin Gate are open from 10:00 to 16:00, so visitors also turn up around the fortress on ul. Graniczna.
How do I become a courier in Kostrzyn nad Odrą?
You sign up online with a settlement partner: fill in a form, upload your documents and sign an umowa zlecenie (civil contract). The partner then activates you in the apps you choose — Uber Eats usually within 24–72 hours. In Kostrzyn you start with Glovo, which has had no slots since October 2026, so you can do your first runs whenever it suits you.
