Nowa Sol for couriers: the Odra, the ring road, the industrial zone

Glovo in a town built on salt

The town owes its name to a salt works founded here in 1563. Today 35,230 people live in Nowa Sól (GUS, 31.12.2025), and food is delivered through Glovo — with no slot booking since 14 September 2026. When more apps launch here, one settlement partner will let you ride for several at once.

A bike for 21.8 km²

The Odra closes the town off to the east, and Nowa Sól covers just 21.8 km², so trips are short and your own bike or e-bike will do. The 2023 regeneration programme admits there are too few cycle paths, though, and none around the port — expect part of each trip on the road.

The S3 ring and the Odra bridge

The S3 skirts the town to the north and west; the Odra marks the eastern edge. Since 24.10.2024 a 1.7 km link from the Odra bridge to the S3 closes the ring, easing ul. Południowa. The centre has a paid parking zone (e.g. Plac Wyzwolenia, ul. Muzealna); after an audit the town is weighing changes.

Blocks, Kompozytorów and Przyszłość

Most addresses are in the blocks of the Armii Krajowej, Konstytucji 3 Maja, Paderewskiego, Kopernika and Spółdzielcze estates. Further out lie the Kompozytorów and Przyszłość estates, and SubBus lines also run to Stare Żabno, Kiełcz and the northern industrial zone. Zielona Gora is 20.6 km away.

Plac Wyzwolenia and retail parks

The heart of the centre is formed by ul. Piłsudskiego, Wojska Polskiego and Zjednoczenia, together with Plac Wyzwolenia, which hosts town events and fairs. Further out: Park Handlowy S1 (ul. Północna 3, since 2025) and Miasteczko Handlowe Manhattan (ul. Kupiecka 80).

Factories, a port and a lift bridge

Nowa Sól is the third-largest town in the Lubusz region and an industrial hub: automotive and food plants line ul. Przemysłowa, Motoryzacyjna and Ekonomiczna, some in a special economic zone. On the Odra sits a port renovated in 2010, with a marina, a promenade and a steel bascule bridge from 1927.

Delivering in Nowa Sol — couriers' questions

Where can you work as a food delivery rider in Nowa Sol?
With Glovo — for now it is the only food delivery app in Nowa Sól (as of October 2026). Since 14 September 2026 you no longer book slots there: you switch the app on whenever you like and orders come straight in. Just remember that rejecting orders too often can still limit access to your account.
What earnings can a delivery rider expect in Nowa Sol?
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. For now Nowa Sól runs on Glovo alone, so your result depends mostly on how many peak hours you put in and how close to the centre, around ul. Zjednoczenia and Plac Wyzwolenia, you wait for orders. Work out your own figure in the earnings calculator.
Bike or car — what works best for deliveries in Nowa Sol?
The town covers only 21.8 km², so a bike or e-bike is the easiest way round the centre and the estates. Cycle paths are still scarce, so expect to ride on the road. For addresses further out, such as the Kompozytorów estate or the industrial zone in the north, and in the cold months, a scooter or a car is more comfortable.
Where can a trip in Nowa Sol take longer?
To the east the Odra is the barrier — an address across the river means a detour via the bridge and a longer trip. The outskirts also take more time: the Kompozytorów and Przyszłość estates and the zone along ul. Przemysłowa. On fair and event days on Plac Wyzwolenia it is harder to find a spot for a quick stop in the centre.
On which days and at what times are there the most trips in Nowa Sol?
Peaks usually come at lunchtime and in the evening, and Fridays, weekends and rainy days, when few people want to go out, tend to be the strongest. On warm weekends it is also worth staying online around events on Plac Wyzwolenia and the riverside recreation park with Park Krasnala and the wake park.
How long does courier registration take in Nowa Sol?
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 you can switch Glovo on straight away — in Nowa Sól there has been no waiting for a free slot since 14 September 2026.
