Tirana keeps two clocks.
Tirana runs on the sun and on Central European Time, where summer workdays stretch with long evenings thanks to the 2-hour jump from UTC and generous daylight-saving days that keep late sunsets spilling into after-hours meetings. Remote teams syncing with Albania often find themselves shifting calls later than their Central European peers, matching the city’s love of late office hours and extended dinners that roll straight from the afternoon into the night.
