Current Time in Venice, Italy

How Venice Keeps Time

Venice keeps CET, UTC+1. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Venice; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.

Venice runs on the Europe/Rome zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC+1 right now. The clocks change twice a year here: UTC+1 on standard time and UTC+2 while daylight saving is in force. The next change is on 28 March 2027, when clocks go forward one hour.

The sun rises in Venice at 6:41 am today and sets at 5:07 pm — 10 hours 26 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 11:54 am. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (45.44, 12.32), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Venice has about 15 hours 41 minutes of daylight in June and 8 hours 43 minutes in December. The difference is about 6 hours 58 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.

The whole of Italy keeps one time, so the clock on this page is also the clock in Rome and in every other city listed below.
