Europe/Istanbul · UTC+3
The current time in Istanbul is Turkey Time (TRT), UTC+3. There is no summer-time switch to allow for, so the offset is the same all year. Turkey stopped changing its clocks in 2016 by staying on summer time permanently, so Istanbul now matches Moscow year-round and is two hours ahead of Berlin in winter but only one in summer. The clock above ticks once a second in the Europe/Istanbul zone.

Common questions
- What time is it in Istanbul right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in Istanbul, updated every second, with today's date and the day of the week beneath it. Because Istanbul is always UTC+3, the reading is UTC shifted by that fixed amount.
- What is the UTC offset in Istanbul?
- UTC+3, all year: Turkey Time, abbreviated TRT. There is no summer variant to remember.
- Does Istanbul observe daylight saving time?
- No. Istanbul stays on Turkey Time (UTC+3) throughout the year, so the offset to UTC never moves.
- What is the IANA timezone for Istanbul?
- Europe/Istanbul. 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 Istanbul rather than one fixed number.
