How high can I fly a drone in Pori?
The EU open category caps you at 120 m above ground across Finland, and lower where a zone says so. Over the centre of Pori 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.

Zone counts are measured from the point above, which is Pori'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 Pori'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 83,157 (GeoNames, record updated 2025-11-18). City data from GeoNames, licensed CC BY 4.0. Zone data is the official Finland dataset, unmodified except for normalisation to ED-269.
