Current local time in Bulgaria
Bulgaria keeps a single time zone, Europe/Sofia, currently UTC+3. It observes daylight saving time, so the offset shifts twice a year.
Every clock below is computed in your browser from the IANA time zone database, so the offsets reflect the daylight-saving rules in force today rather than a value written down once and left to rot.
