How high can I fly a drone in Olomouc?
The EU open category caps you at 120 m above ground across Czechia, and lower where a zone says so.

Whether you may fly there at all depends on the zone's restriction level, listed on this page.

Zone counts are measured from the point above, which is Olomouc's centre as recorded by GeoNames; a zone counts if any part of it falls within 8 km of it. That radius scales with population and is not Olomouc's administrative boundary, so a zone just outside the city limits still appears - which is what matters when you are deciding where to take off. Population 99,496 (GeoNames, record updated 2026-05-30). City data from GeoNames, licensed CC BY 4.0. Zone data is the official Czechia dataset, unmodified except for normalisation to ED-269.
