About CEST

CEST (Central European Summer Time) is the daylight saving time used in many parts of Central Europe during the summer months. It is mainly used in countries like Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and others.

The time zone offset of CEST is UTC +02:00, which means it is 2 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

CEST is used only in the summer period. In winter, these countries switch back to CET (Central European Time).

CEST is used in many major European cities such as Berlin, Paris, Rome, Madrid, and others during daylight saving time.

This time system helps make better use of daylight during longer summer days across Europe.
