Shoot decision
Small personal or low-impact work may be fine, but commercial, staged, exclusive-use, tripod, light, or crew-heavy work can cross the permit line.
Permit line
Conditional, Site owner for commercial shoots; cultural-monument owner for commercial use of monument imagery
Public space
Yes to photograph, but publishing or commercially using an identifiable person generally needs a lawful basis or consent under GDPR
Drone layer
Governed by EU EASA rules via the national civil aviation authority; operator registration required

Drone Authority
Photography access and drone permission are separate questions. Drone Authority covers the flight-law side for this country.
Conditional
