Oslo keeps two clocks.
Oslo runs on Central European Time and switches to summer time from late March to late October, when Scandinavians balance bright evenings with efficient 'work-hard, play-harder' energy. Norway's capital Europe/Oslo thrives in this seasonal daylight, encouraging teams to finish tasks early and embrace the outdoors.
