Lisbon clocks, offsets and daylight saving
Lisbon keeps WEST (1 hour ahead of UTC, UTC+01:00). Its database zone is Europe/Lisbon — worth knowing if you are scheduling anything that has to survive a daylight saving change.
Lisbon observes daylight saving. The next change lands on Sunday, 25 October 2026, when 1 hour is added or removed and the abbreviation becomes WET.
Bear in mind Portugal spans 2 zones across the 9 cities we cover — checking a second city in the same country is often necessary.
