About Warsaw's time zone

Warsaw follows Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and CEST (UTC+2) in summer. Poland has used CET consistently since WWII, aligning with Germany and Western Europe rather than with Russia (UTC+3) to its east. As a rapidly growing economy and EU member since 2004, Warsaw's CET time zone facilitates business with 18 other European countries on the same clock. Warsaw is 1 hour ahead of London and 6 hours ahead of New York.

Did you know? Poland is one of Europe's fastest-growing tech hubs, with Warsaw becoming home to a thriving startup scene. Polish software engineers are in high demand globally partly because CET allows them to work comfortably with both US East Coast afternoons and Asian business hours — a 'Goldilocks' position in the global time zone map.
