What time is it in Berlin?

Berlin runs on Central European Time, shared with Paris, Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam and most of the EU. European clocks change on the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October — a different date from North America, so for a couple of weeks each spring and autumn the usual Berlin–New York gap shifts by an hour.

Time zone facts

Sunrise and sunset today

Good to know

• Germany is always 1 hour ahead of the UK and 6 hours ahead of New York outside the transition weeks.
• Berlin sits far enough north that midsummer daylight stretches past 9:30pm while December sunsets fall before 4pm.
• CET covers everything from Spain to Poland, so Berlin and Madrid share a clock despite two hours of solar difference.
