Questions fréquentes
What time is it in Gothenburg right now?
The clock at the top of this page shows the current local time in Gothenburg, Sweden, updated every second from your device's clock and converted with the Europe/Stockholm time zone rules. Gothenburg currently runs at UTC+2 (CEST), and switches between UTC+1 and UTC+2 across the year.
What time zone is Gothenburg in?
Gothenburg uses the IANA time zone Europe/Stockholm, written as CET in standard time and CEST while daylight saving time is in force. Every time on this page is computed from that zone rather than from a stored offset, so it follows the rules currently published in the time zone database.
What is the UTC offset in Gothenburg?
Gothenburg has two offsets. It runs at UTC+1 during standard time and at UTC+2 during daylight saving time, which is why a single fixed offset for Gothenburg is always wrong for part of the year. In 2026 the daylight saving period runs from March 29, 2026 to October 25, 2026.
Does Gothenburg observe daylight saving time?
Yes. Gothenburg changes its clocks twice in 2026: March 29, 2026 — clocks go forward 1 hour, from 02:00 CET to 03:00 CEST; October 25, 2026 — clocks go back 1 hour, from 03:00 CEST to 02:00 CET. Time differences with other places therefore shift during the year.
What is the time difference between Gothenburg and New York?
For most of 2026, New York is 6 hours behind Gothenburg. Because the two places change their clocks on different dates, the gap is 5 hours (New York behind Gothenburg) from March 8 – March 29 and October 25 – November 1.
What is the time difference between Gothenburg and Sao Paulo?
For most of 2026, Sao Paulo is 5 hours behind Gothenburg. Because the two places change their clocks on different dates, the gap is 4 hours (Sao Paulo behind Gothenburg) from January 1 – March 29 and October 25 – January 1.
What is the time difference between Gothenburg and London?
London is 1 hour behind Gothenburg, and that gap holds all year — neither city moves its clocks in a way that changes it.
How long is the day in Gothenburg?
