Time difference between Lisbon and Denver
Denver is 7 hours behind Lisbon
Lisbon, Portugal is UTC · Denver, the United States is UTC−7 — on standard time
The gap is not the same all year
Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Lisbon goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and Denver goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November.
| Lisbon / Denver clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| summer / summer, standard / standard | 7 hours behind | about 48 weeks — most of the year |
| standard / summer | 6 hours behind | about 4 weeks |
Both change their clocks and both are in the northern hemisphere, but not on the same weekend — Lisbon goes forward on the last Sunday in March and Denver on the second Sunday in March. For the days in between, the gap is neither party's expected figure, and a standing meeting silently moves by an hour. That mismatch is a common cause of a missed international call.
