Europe/Madrid · UTC+1
Madrid splits the year between Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2), the latter running from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. That is why a flat “Madrid is UTC+1” answer is only right for part of the year. The clock above is always current. Spain lies almost entirely west of Greenwich but has kept Central European Time since 1940, which is why Madrid's sunsets and dinner times run so late.

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