Daylight saving time in Rome
This zone shifts its clocks twice a year, so its offset from UTC depends on the date. In 2026 the transitions fall at:
| Transition | Local time in Rome | Offset after |
|---|---|---|
| Clocks go forward | Sunday, 29 March 2026 at 03:00:00 CEST | UTC+02:00 |
| Clocks go back | Sunday, 25 October 2026 at 02:00:00 CET | UTC+01:00 |
Around the forward transition an hour of local time does not exist, and around the backward transition an hour occurs twice. Any job scheduled at a wall-clock time inside those windows will be skipped or run twice — the reason recurring work should be scheduled in UTC. See daylight saving bugs.
Converting timestamps for this zone in code
Always pass the IANA identifier Europe/Rome rather than a numeric
offset. The identifier carries the zone's entire history of offset and
daylight saving changes, so a timestamp from any year converts correctly; a
hard-coded offset is only right until the next rule change.
# Python
from datetime import datetime
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo
datetime.fromtimestamp(1710050400, ZoneInfo("Europe/Rome"))
// JavaScript
new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-GB', { timeZone: 'Europe/Rome',
dateStyle: 'full', timeStyle: 'long' }).format(new Date(1710050400 * 1000));
<?php // PHP
(new DateTimeImmutable("@1710050400"))->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone("Europe/Rome")); More languages on the code examples pages.

Frequently asked questions
What is the current time in Rome?
The clock above shows the current time in the Europe/Rome time zone, updating every second from your own device clock. Rome is currently UTC+02:00 (GMT+2).
What is the UTC offset for Europe/Rome?
Rome uses UTC+01:00 during standard time and UTC+02:00 during daylight saving time. Right now it is UTC+02:00.
Does Rome observe daylight saving time?
Yes. In 2026, daylight saving begins on Sunday, 29 March 2026 at 03:00:00 CEST and ends on Sunday, 25 October 2026 at 02:00:00 CET. Because of this, converting a timestamp for this zone requires knowing the date, not just the zone.
How do I convert a Unix timestamp to Rome time?
Paste the timestamp into the converter on this page — the output zone is already set to Europe/Rome. In code, pass the IANA identifier Europe/Rome to your language's time zone function rather than hard-coding an offset, so daylight saving is handled for you.
