Complete Time Zone Guide for Sweden
SyncMyTime provides accurate time for Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, and Swedish cities. Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) in summer.
Time Zone History
Sweden adopted Central European Time in 1900, abandoning Stockholm Local Mean Time to align with European neighbors. Like Norway, Sweden's geography suggests it should use GMT, but CET was chosen for commercial reasons. During WWII neutrality, Sweden maintained CET independently. The country has observed daylight saving since 1980 in coordination with European partners.
Culture & Daily Rhythm
Swedish daily life epitomizes work-life balance. The workday typically runs 8 AM-5 PM with sacred 'fika' (coffee and pastry) breaks at 10 AM and 3 PM. Punctuality is highly valued—arriving late is considered disrespectful. Summer schedules shift dramatically with extended daylight enabling evening activities. The concept of 'lagom' (just right balance) extends to time management.
