Time difference between Moscow and Berlin

Berlin is 1 hour behind Moscow

Moscow, Russia is UTC+3 · Berlin, Germany 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 Berlin goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October.
