Romania switches to official winter time on Saturday night

by Diana Ionascu

The daylight saving time in Romania will change on the night of Saturday to Sunday (October 25 to 26), when 4 am turns to 3 am. Starting October 26, Romania switches from the Eastern European Summer Time to the winter Eastern European Time, a time zone 2 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time.

If you are traveling by train on Sunday morning, it is good to know that the Romanian Railway Company CFR Calatori will switch to the winter EET as well. All passenger trains scheduled for departure after 4 am will leave at the time of the timetable in force, according to the winter EET.
