About the time in Zürich
Around 415,367 people live in Zürich, 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 06:29 and sunset at 08:28 local time, giving 13h 59m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (47.37, 8.55) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Zürich.
Zürich is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC +2 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 25 October 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
