About Barcelona time
Barcelona shares the mainland Spanish time zone with Madrid. For a flight or a call involving the Canary Islands, choose the island’s own time zone instead.
Barcelona, Spain, uses Europe/Madrid. An IANA identifier names the set of rules used for this location; it can include historical changes as well as different offsets within a year.
Daylight saving and UTC offset
The 2026 reference data includes UTC+01:00 and UTC+02:00. Select the actual meeting date: one fixed offset will not describe the whole year.
These offsets describe the selected reference year, not every year in the city’s history. The live clock above and date-aware converter use the time-zone rules installed in your browser. Update your device when a government announces a change.
