About the time in Sintra
Sintra is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC +1 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 25 October 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
Sintra 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.
The zone identifier Europe/Lisbon is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Lisbon keeps pointing at Lisbon time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
