Current local time in Bulgaria
One time zone, 56 cities listed
Bulgaria keeps a single time zone, Europe/Sofia: Eastern European Standard Time (EET, UTC+2) in winter and Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, UTC+3) in summer.
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.
