About Lisbon's time zone

Lisbon follows Western European Time (WET, UTC+0) in winter and Western European Summer Time (WEST, UTC+1) from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. Portugal is the only Western European country on UTC+0 (same as the UK), despite being part of the European continent. This makes Lisbon the westernmost capital in mainland Europe and aligns it with London rather than with neighboring Spain (CET). Lisbon is on the same time as London year-round.

Did you know? Portugal's geographic position on the western edge of Europe means it gets sunset almost 2 hours later than countries at the same latitude in eastern Europe. In summer, Lisbon sees the sun set past 9:00 PM, creating long, warm evenings that define Portuguese café culture. The Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa wrote extensively about how Lisbon's golden afternoon light was unlike anywhere else in Europe.
