About the time in Lausanne
The zone identifier Europe/Zurich is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Zurich keeps pointing at Zurich time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Lausanne runs on Europe/Zurich, which puts the city UTC +2 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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:39 and sunset at 08:34 local time, giving 13h 55m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (46.52, 6.63) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Lausanne.
