Sweden is comparatively liberal on public photography. Commercial shoots and managed or private sites may need permission.
Drone / airspace
Governed by EASA rules via Transportstyrelsen; an EU operator registration is valid
For category detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes, and relatively permissive: photographing people in public is broadly allowed
Limits come from the covert-photography offence, defamation, GDPR on publication, and consent for advertising use.
Freedom of panorama
Restricted for public art
Buildings may be depicted freely, but the Supreme Court (NJA 2016 s. 212) held that making images of copyrighted public artworks available in a database is not covered, even where the commercial purpose is indirect. Selling or building an image bank of public sculptures is risky.
Practical notes
- Photographing and selling images of Swedish building exteriors is clearly fine.
- Do not assume you can freely sell or compile an online image bank of copyrighted public sculptures; the Wikimedia v. BUS ruling restricted exactly that.
Guidance, not legal advice
