City of San Marino keeps two clocks.
In San Marino, Europe’s oldest republic ticks along with Central European Time: business hours align with much of the continent, but workdays feel a bit shorter and more relaxed, with late-afternoon sunsets from June to September nudging teams to wrap up early and enjoy the hilltop views. Because of the small size of San Marino, coordinating with partners in nearby Italy is seamless—dialling into Italian colleagues is practically a local call—but remember the clocks spring forward and fall back, so double-check summer meeting times to stay in sync with the rest of Europe.
