Mikolow for couriers: the Jamna valley, DK44 and DK81, the old town square

Glovo and Uber Eats in the town on the Jamna

Between Katowice and Tychy, in a town of 41,478 people (as of 31.12.2025), food is delivered by Glovo and Uber Eats couriers. Since 14 September 2026 Glovo no longer makes you sign up for slots. One settlement partner lets you run both apps side by side.

Out of the Jamna valley, onto about 30 km of routes

The centre sits in the valley of the Jamna stream, so heading to the outer parts of town usually means riding uphill. Mikolow has about 30 km of bike routes, including from the centre to Mokre and from Kamionka towards Katowice.

DK44, DK81 and Katowice close by

Two national roads run through Mikolow: the DK44 from Gliwice towards Tychy and Krakow (ul. Beskidzka in town) and the DK81 from Katowice to Skoczów and Cieszyn. Katowice is about 13 km away, the A1/A4 junction about 20 km. In summer 2025, works at the junction with the DW 928 caused detours.

Kamionka, Mokre and five villages on 79 km²

Mikolow covers 79.2 km². Besides the centre with the Mickiewicza and Grunwaldzkie estates, addresses come up in Kamionka, Gniotek and the villages of Borowa Wieś, Bujaków, Mokre, Paniowy and Śmiłowice. A run from the Rynek to the villages can be several times longer than one in the old town.

The Rynek, ul. Jana Pawła II and ul. Cieszyńska

The heart of town is the elongated Rynek with the town hall at no. 16, crossed north to south by ul. Jana Pawła II. The other key address is CH Auchan Mikołów at ul. Cieszyńska 2: a mall with shops and services, with a 5,400 m² retail park next door since 2024.

The Botanical Garden in Mokre and a centuries-old town

Mikolow is one of the oldest towns in Upper Silesia: it was first mentioned in 1222 and got town rights in 1547. In Mokre, at ul. Sosnowa 5, the Silesian Botanical Garden has operated since 2003; in 2019 it covered 15 ha, with 14 plant collections and 3 km of paths.

Questions about courier work in Mikolow

Which delivery companies operate in Mikolow?
In Mikolow orders are delivered by Glovo and Uber Eats couriers (as of October 2026). Since 14 September 2026 Glovo works here without slots, so you log in whenever you have time. Through one settlement partner you can ride for both apps and switch between them during the day.
How much does food delivery pay in Mikolow?
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. Runs from the centre to Paniowy, Bujaków or Mokre are longer than trips around the old town, so a faster vehicle lets you fit more of them into an hour. See what you would keep in the earnings calculator.
What is the easiest way to ride between the Rynek and Mokre?
A regular bike is enough for the old town and the central estates. Bike routes lead to Mokre, Kamionka and Paniowy, but climbing out of the Jamna valley is easier on an e-bike or scooter. By car you move quickly along the DK44 and DK81.
Where in Mikolow is it easiest to lose time on a run?
In the irregular, narrow streets around the Rynek, where it is harder to stop quickly by car, and at the junctions of ul. Beskidzka (DK44) towards Tychy: during works, as in summer 2025, traffic gets sent onto detours there. The villages are a long way out, and in winter take the climbs out of the valley with care.
How are orders spread through the day in Mikolow?
The first wave comes around noon, the second in the evening as people get home from work, including from Katowice; on Saturdays and Sundays orders spread over a longer part of the day, and rain or frost pushes them up. Between peaks, wait near the Rynek or on ul. Cieszyńska.
Where do I start with deliveries in Mikolow?
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 Mikolow the simplest start is to combine Glovo, slot-free since 14 September, with Uber Eats.
