About Istanbul time

Istanbul uses the Europe/Istanbul time zone, which is UTC+3:00 from UTC. Different cities show different clock readings at the same moment precisely because their offsets differ.

Istanbul does not observe daylight saving time, so its offset stays at UTC+3:00 all year round.

Time is converted in real time by the browser using IANA time zones, in line with your device clock. The page updates once a second and makes no network requests.

Below the clock, a grid shows local progress in time: one square per hour fills up the current day, and one square per day fills up the year, with today’s cell gradually filling from morning to night.
