Our website shows the current time in Switzerland now, as well as other countries, states (regions) and cities around the world.

This means that time can shift in the spring and fall, affecting local time. Regardless of the country or region, our service ensures that you always know the exact date and time, whether it's during the day or at midnight. Stay up to date with the current time in the CH, no matter where you are or what time of year it is.
