Europe/Amsterdam · UTC+1
Depending on the date, Amsterdam is either UTC+1 on CET or UTC+2 on CEST. Central European Summer Time runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. Rather than guess, read the live clock above: it follows the Europe/Amsterdam zone and changes over on its own. The Netherlands ran on its own UTC+00:19:32 offset until 1937, a 19-minute-and-32-second zone and one reason IANA ids carry so much history.

Common questions
- What time is it in Amsterdam right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in Amsterdam, updated every second, with today's date and the day of the week beneath it. It reads your device's clock and converts it using the Europe/Amsterdam rules, so it stays correct across daylight-saving changes.
- What is the UTC offset in Amsterdam?
- CET is UTC+1 and CEST is UTC+2. Amsterdam is on CEST from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, and on CET for the rest of the year.
- Does Amsterdam observe daylight saving time?
- Yes. Clocks go forward an hour for Central European Summer Time, which runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, and back again at the end of it.
- What is the IANA timezone for Amsterdam?
- Europe/Amsterdam. That is the identifier to use in code (a database column, a cron schedule, an Intl.DateTimeFormat call), because it carries the full history of offset and daylight-saving changes for Amsterdam rather than one fixed number.
