Timezones across Europe

Europe stretches across four main timezones — GMT/BST (UK, Ireland, Portugal), CET/CEST (most of continental Europe), EET/EEST (Greece, Finland, the Baltics), and MSK (Russia's westernmost cities). Most countries observe DST in unison — last Sunday of March to last Sunday of October — creating clean 1-hour steps between neighbouring zones. Icelandic and Russian cities are exceptions with no seasonal shift.

Sweden's Timezone System Explained

Sweden uses Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) in summer. Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, and all Swedish cities observe the same timezone.

DST in 2025: clocks spring forward at 2:00 AM on Sunday 30 March and fall back at 3:00 AM on Sunday 26 October. Sweden's high latitude means the practical daylight difference between summer and winter is dramatic — Stockholm gets under 7 hours of daylight at the December solstice and over 18 hours in June.

Key differences from Stockholm: London is 1 hour behind in winter. Oslo, Copenhagen, Berlin, and Warsaw share the same offset. New York (EST) is 6 hours behind.
