Frequently asked questions
Can I fly a drone in Prague?
The centre of Prague sits inside 6 published drone zones (Grid CTR, PISLK041 zone I), so you need authorisation or must meet stated conditions before flying there. 199 restricted zones fall within 15 km of the centre in total. Prague is in Czechia, where the UAS geographical zones are published by Řízení letového provozu ČR (ANS CR) / ÚCL under Regulation (EU) 2019/947, Article 15. Always confirm against the official source before a flight.
Where can't I fly a drone in Prague?

How high can I fly a drone in Prague?
The EU open category caps you at 120 m above ground across Czechia, and lower where a zone says so. Over the centre of Prague the restriction reaches 120 m above ground - meaning it applies to you from take-off all the way up to 120 m, not that 120 m is available to fly in. 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 Prague's centre as recorded by GeoNames; a zone counts if any part of it falls within 15 km of it. That radius scales with population and is not Prague'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 1,165,581 (GeoNames, record updated 2026-02-23). City data from GeoNames, licensed CC BY 4.0. Zone data is the official Czechia dataset, unmodified except for normalisation to ED-269.
