Time difference between Moscow and Amsterdam
Amsterdam is 1 hour behind Moscow
Moscow, Russia is UTC+3 · Amsterdam, the Netherlands is UTC+1 — 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 Moscow does not change its clocks and Amsterdam goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October.
| Moscow / Amsterdam clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| standard / summer | 1 hour behind | about 30 weeks |
| standard / standard | 2 hours behind | about 22 weeks |
Moscow stays put all year while Amsterdam moves, so the gap changes twice a year from Amsterdam's side alone. A recurring meeting set in Moscow's calendar will drift by an hour without anyone touching it.
