Current local time in Switzerland
One time zone, 95 cities listed
Switzerland keeps a single time zone, Europe/Zurich: Central European Standard Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) 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.
