About Södertälje Time Zone
Södertälje uses the IANA time zone Europe/Stockholm, the same time zone used across most of Sweden, including Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö. The city follows Central European Time (CET), UTC+1 during standard time and Central European Summer Time (CEST), UTC+2 during daylight saving time. Since Södertälje is in Stockholm County just southwest of central Stockholm, its clocks match the Swedish capital exactly year-round.
Daylight saving time in Södertälje follows the European Union schedule. Clocks move forward on the last Sunday in March and move back on the last Sunday in October; for example, in 2025, DST begins on 30 March 2025 and ends on 26 October 2025. During the summer period, Södertälje is one hour ahead of the UK and usually six hours ahead of New York, while in winter it is aligned one hour ahead of London and generally six hours ahead of Eastern Time when both regions are on standard schedules.
Geographically, Södertälje sits in eastern Sweden and shares its time alignment with neighboring Nordic and Central European zones during much of the year. Sweden’s time matches Norway and Denmark year-round and matches Finland only when accounting for Finland’s one-hour lead in Eastern European Time. This matters for regional rail, ferry, trucking, and business coordination across Scandinavia and the Baltic area, especially for manufacturing and logistics operations moving through the Stockholm region.
Södertälje City Details
Södertälje is a city in Sweden with a population of 70,777, making it an important urban center in Stockholm County rather than a small rural locality. It is widely known for its industrial base, including major vehicle manufacturing and life sciences activity, which makes accurate time coordination relevant for factory operations, supplier calls, and international project management.
The city’s coordinates are 59.19554° N, 17.62525° E, placing it southwest of Stockholm near key road, rail, and maritime connections. That location helps explain why Södertälje is significant for freight movement and commuter travel within east-central Sweden.
The local currency is the Swedish krona (SEK), which is used for retail purchases, hotel payments, local transport, and business invoicing throughout Sweden. The country dialing code is +46, so international callers reaching Södertälje from abroad will use Sweden’s country code before the local number.
Time Differences from Södertälje

During Swedish summer time, the London difference often remains 1 hour, New York is commonly still 6 hours behind, Tokyo becomes 7 hours ahead, Sydney is often 8 hours ahead during parts of the northern summer, and Dubai remains 2 hours ahead because the UAE does not observe daylight saving time.
