### 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.

## How this was worked out

A zone counts if any part of it falls within 15 km of 50.088, 14.4208 - Prague's centre as recorded by GeoNames. That radius scales with population and is NOT the administrative city boundary, so a zone just outside the city limits still appears. Population 1,165,581 (GeoNames record updated 2026-02-23).
