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.
Copenhagen is located in Denmark and uses the Europe/Copenhagen time zone. For anyone coordinating calls or meetings internationally, the key question is rarely "what time is it" — it's which hours in Copenhagen overlap with your own working day. Use the world clock comparison further down the page to see at a glance how Copenhagen aligns with other major cities.
Scheduling tip: Always reference a city name in calendar invites rather than a fixed UTC offset. Calendar apps like Google Calendar and Outlook will automatically adjust for any clock changes on both ends, so your meeting stays at the intended local time for everyone involved.
