Europe/Berlin · UTC+1
Depending on the date, Berlin 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/Berlin zone and changes over on its own. Berlin, Paris, Rome, Madrid, Amsterdam, Vienna and Stockholm all read the same: most of continental western Europe on a single offset.

Common questions
- What time is it in Berlin right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in Berlin, 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/Berlin rules, so it stays correct across daylight-saving changes.
- What is the UTC offset in Berlin?
- CET is UTC+1 and CEST is UTC+2. Berlin 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 Berlin 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 Berlin?
- Europe/Berlin. 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 Berlin rather than one fixed number.
