About Time in Berlin
Berlin uses Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) in summer. As the capital of Germany and a major European tech and startup hub, Berlin's time is referenced by EU policymakers, automakers, and the growing remote-work community. Berlin shares its clock with most of continental Europe, including Paris, Rome, and Madrid, which makes intra-EU coordination simple.
