About Vienna's time zone

Vienna follows Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and CEST (UTC+2) from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. As the former capital of the Habsburg Empire, Vienna's cultural and historical influence extends far beyond its size. Vienna is in the same time zone as Berlin, Paris, Rome, and 15 other European capitals — the largest single time zone bloc in the world. Vienna is 1 hour ahead of London and 6 hours ahead of New York.

Did you know? Vienna's Stephansdom cathedral has a peculiar feature related to time: the bell tower (Südturm) was used to signal time to the city for centuries. Even today, the Pummerin bell — one of the largest bells in Europe — rings at midnight on New Year's Eve, a tradition broadcast live on Austrian television as the official New Year signal.
