Select a time range on the grid: Use the Select button to enter selection mode, then drag across Aalborg’s row from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM to highlight a practical meeting window. On a standard winter day, that same slot is 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in London, 3:00 AM to 5:00 AM in New York, and 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM in Dubai, showing immediately why a morning meeting in Aalborg is convenient for Europe and the Middle East but too early for the US East Coast.
Export or share the selected time: After selecting a range, use the export options for ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link.

About Aalborg Time Zone
Aalborg uses the Europe/Copenhagen IANA time zone, the same time zone used across Denmark. The city operates on Central European Time (CET), UTC+1 during standard time and switches to Central European Summer Time (CEST), UTC+2 during daylight saving time. Because Aalborg is in northern Denmark in the North Jutland region, its legal time is aligned with Copenhagen and the rest of the country rather than with local solar time.
Daylight saving time in Aalborg follows the European Union schedule. Clocks move forward on the last Sunday in March and move back on the last Sunday in October; for 2026, that means the shift to summer time occurs on 29 March 2026, and the return to standard time occurs on 25 October 2026. During summer, Aalborg is one hour ahead of the UK and matches many central European cities such as Berlin, Paris, and Rome.
Aalborg’s time relationship with neighboring regions is straightforward for travel and business planning. It is usually 1 hour ahead of London, the same time as Hamburg, Amsterdam, and Oslo, and 1 hour behind Helsinki during standard winter alignment.
