Drone no-fly zones in Slovakia
Slovakia publishes 101 official drone (UAS) geographical zones, maintained by Dopravný úrad / NSAT (Slovakia). Check any location before you fly, see the altitude limits and the responsible authority, and download the zones for your drone controller.
Slovakia drone zones by restriction type
Every zone is classified using the EASA ED-269 restriction vocabulary. Here is what Slovakia currently publishes:
| Restriction | Zones | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Prohibited | 65 | Drone flight is not permitted. |
| Requires authorisation | 13 | You must obtain authorisation from the responsible authority before flying. |
| Other | 23 | The authority publishes the zone but states no restriction level. Check it yourself. |
Can I fly a drone in Slovakia's cities?
Zone counts, altitude limits and the authority to ask, for the 4 largest cities we can answer specifically:
Also checked: Nitra, Prešov, Banská Bystrica, Trnava, Trenčín, Martin – they have too few published zones nearby for a page of their own. The general Slovakia rules above still apply, and every zone is on the map.
Where does this data come from?
Under Regulation (EU) 2019/947, Article 15, every EU and EEA state must publish its UAS geographical zones - the areas where drone flight is prohibited, restricted, or requires authorisation. canfly? ingests Slovakia's official dataset directly, normalises it to the EASA ED-269 model, and refreshes it automatically.

What still applies when you fly in Slovakia
The EU-wide rules apply in Slovakia as they do across the EU and EEA. The zones above are only half of what binds you:
- Register as an operator once, in your country of residence. The registration is valid across the EU and EEA.
- Open, Specific or Certified. Most recreational and light commercial flying is in the Open category, with its A1/A2/A3 subcategories and a 120 m height limit.
- Class marking and remote ID obligations follow the drone, not the country.
- The zones above are the official set - they are law in Slovakia, and they change. Confirm anything critical against the authority named below.
