The time in Prague, explained
Right now it's 9:02 pm in Prague — Monday, 7 September 2026. Prague runs on CEST (UTC+2), and the clock above updates itself every second, so what you're reading is genuinely the current time there, not a snapshot from when the page loaded.
Prague keeps the Europe/Prague time zone in the IANA database, currently UTC+2. Clocks here change twice a year: UTC+1 on standard time, and UTC+2 while daylight saving is in effect. The next change is due on 25 October 2026, when clocks move back by an hour.
Today in Prague, the sun comes up at 6:24 am and goes down at 7:35 pm — 13 hours 11 minutes of daylight in total, with solar noon at 1:00 pm. These figures come straight from the city's real coordinates (50.08, 14.44), so they shift by a small amount every single day of the year.
