Poland
Poland has full freedom of panorama for outdoor public works, but a camera-equipped drone of any weight needs operator registration.
Guidance, not legal advice
Permit
Conditional
Issuer: Site owner for managed or interior sites; no permit for personal street photography
Cost: No permit for personal photography; commercial shoots at managed sites need agreements
Public-space photography needs no permit. Museums, palaces, and stations set their own commercial rules.
Drone / airspace
Governed by EU rules via the ULC; any camera-equipped drone (even sub-250g) needs operator registration
For category detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes to photograph; publishing a recognizable person generally needs consent under Art. 81 of the Copyright Act
Exceptions for public figures and people incidental to a wider scene.
Freedom of panorama
Full
Article 33(1) permits disseminating works permanently on public roads, streets, squares, and gardens, including commercial use. Outdoor public space only; interiors excluded.
Practical notes
- A camera drone of any weight triggers ULC operator registration, unlike the pure-weight rule people expect.
- Old Town and palace-garden complexes (Wilanow, Lazienki) impose their own filming fees even though outdoor panorama freedom is full.
