Tallinn sits on the Gulf of Finland at roughly 59 degrees north, making it one of the northernmost capitals in the EU. It runs on Eastern European Time: UTC+2 in winter, UTC+3 in summer. Estonia follows EU daylight saving rules.

At 59 degrees north, Tallinn’s seasonal light variation is dramatic even by European standards. On the summer solstice, the sun sets around 10:40pm and rises before 4:30am, with only a few hours of twilight in between. In December, daylight lasts barely seven hours: sunrise after 9am, sunset before 3:30pm. The city’s psychological and commercial seasons are almost more distinct than its meteorological ones.

Estonia’s fight against clock changes

Estonia was among the EU member states most vocal about ending daylight saving time. In 2019, the European Parliament voted to end mandatory DST, but implementation was left to member states and the coordinated transition never materialized. Estonians, who preferred to keep permanent summer time (UTC+3 year-round), continue to change their clocks twice annually.

Tallinn’s medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the best-preserved walled cities in northern Europe. The town hall clock tower has marked the public hours since the fourteenth century.

Šiauliai in Lithuania shares the same Eastern European Time zone.

9am in Tallinn is 7am in London in winter, 6am during British Summer Time.
