About the time in Rotterdam
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Rotterdam day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 07:00–15:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 06:35 and sunset at 08:55 local time, giving 14h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (51.92, 4.48) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Rotterdam.
The zone identifier Europe/Amsterdam is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Amsterdam keeps pointing at Amsterdam time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
