Gibraltar uses Standard Time or Central European Time (UTC+01:00) and daylight saving time or Central European Summer Time (UTC+02:00).

Prior to 1982

Until 1982, Gibraltar used GMT+1 all year round. This put it in neighbouring Spain's time zone / Central European Time for 5 months and in the UK's zone for the 7 months of British Summer Time. In 1982, Gibraltar changed to use Central European Time all year round, putting it wholly in tune with Central Europe.
