About the time in Benfica
Around 35,362 people live in Benfica, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:58 and sunset at 08:20 local time, giving 13h 22m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (38.74, -9.20) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Benfica.
Benfica runs on Europe/Lisbon, which puts the city UTC +1 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
