Bali’s Time Zone: WITA (UTC+8)

Bali operates on Central Indonesia Time (WITA), which is UTC/GMT +8 hours. This means that Bali is 8 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). One important note is that Bali does not observe Daylight Saving Time (DST), so the time difference remains constant throughout the year.

So, What’s the Time Difference Between Bali and Europe?

Europe operates on different time zones, and the time difference between Bali and European countries shifts during Daylight Saving Time (DST). Here’s how it works for key time zones:

• Central European Time (CET) (France, Germany, Italy, Spain): Bali is 7 hours ahead. Example: If it’s 12:00 PM (noon) in Paris (CET), it’s 7:00 PM in Bali.
• Eastern European Time (EET) (Greece, Finland, Romania, Ukraine): Bali is 6 hours ahead. Example: If it’s 12:00 PM in Athens (EET), it’s 6:00 PM in Bali.

European Daylight Saving Time (CEST/EEST)

During European Daylight Saving Time (CEST/EEST) (March to October):

• CET becomes CEST (Central European Summer Time), so Bali is 6 hours ahead of places like Berlin, Madrid, and Rome.
• EET becomes EEST (Eastern European Summer Time), making Bali 5 hours ahead of places like Helsinki and Bucharest.
