Tórshavn keeps two clocks.
Tórshavn moves at a relaxed Nordic pace in the Faroe Islands, where long summer days and short winter daylight shape daily routines and keep collaborations with mainland Europe comfortably in sync thanks to a modest +1 hour offset under Western European Summer Time.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Tórshavn's time zone, daylight saving rules, and scheduling across it. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].
- When do clocks change in the Faroe Islands?
- Clocks spring forward on the last Sunday of March and fall back on the last Sunday of October, aligning with most of Europe so scheduling stays predictable year-round.
- How does the +1 offset affect working with European teams?
- The one-hour step ahead of places like London makes morning meetings easy—locals are already at their desks when much of continental Europe starts the workday.
- Do the Faroe Islands use a different offset in winter?
- Yes. In winter the islands fall back to a +0 offset, matching Greenwich Mean Time and making real-time coordination with the UK particularly seamless.
- Does Tórshavn’s daylight affect the workday rhythm?
- Summer brings very long days that can stretch into late evenings, so meetings can be pushed later; winter’s limited daylight often encourages an earlier start and midday break.
