Daylight saving time note
Berlin and Moscow do not change their clocks on the same date. Between October 25, 2026 and March 28, 2027 the difference is 2 hours behind Moscow — because Berlin changes its clocks for daylight saving time while Moscow keeps the same time all year.
For the rest of the year the difference holds steady at 1 hour. Every time on this page is computed from the IANA database at the moment you load it, so the tables above already account for whichever side has switched.
Why the time difference exists
Berlin uses UTC+1 as its standard offset and Moscow uses UTC+3. Only Berlin shifts for daylight saving; Moscow stays put, which nudges the difference by an hour twice a year. Moscow sits roughly 1,600 km to the east of Berlin.
Expect roughly a 2 hours forward adjustment travelling from Berlin to Moscow. The direct distance works out to roughly 2½ hours in the air. Line up a shared window before you call and the rest is easy.
