Sofia time zone and UTC offset
Sofia keeps EEST (3 hours ahead of UTC, UTC+03:00). Its database zone is Europe/Sofia — worth knowing if you are scheduling anything that has to survive a daylight saving change.
This zone does shift. On Sunday, 25 October 2026 the clocks go back 1 hour and Sofia moves to EET, so anything booked across that date needs checking.
