Exact Current Time in Iceland

The current time in Iceland is unique in Europe because the country uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) year-round and does not observe Daylight Saving Time (DST).

Unlike most European nations, Iceland keeps the same time all year. This simplicity means the local time remains UTC +0, making it one of the few countries with no seasonal clock changes.

👉 The standard time zone used for this page is:

  • IANA Time Zone: Atlantic/Reykjavik

  • UTC Offset: UTC +0 (all year)
