Good to know

This time difference never changes

Neither side observes daylight saving against the other, so the gap stays constant all year. CEST is the daylight-saving counterpart of CET (UTC+1). Regions on GMT switch to BST (UTC+1) during daylight saving time. This page always shows the live, DST-aware difference.
