Cape Verde time zone

Cape Verde Time (CVT) 

The Time Zone of Cape Verde

Cape Verde operates on Cape Verde Time (CVT), which is one hour behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-1). This time zone is unique as the country does not observe daylight saving time. Therefore, the time difference between Cape Verde and other countries remains consistent throughout the year.

For example, when it is 12:00 in London (UTC+0), it is 11:00 in Cape Verde. This consistent time difference simplifies travel plans and communication with Cape Verde, as there is no need to adjust for seasonal time changes.

Cape Verde's time zone aligns well with its geographical location. Given the compact size of the archipelago, sunrise and sunset times are fairly consistent across all islands. This stability in daylight hours contributes to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere of the islands, making it easier for visitors to adjust and enjoy their stay.

Whether you are planning a beach vacation, a cultural exploration, or an active adventure, knowing the time zone helps you make the most out of your trip to Cape Verde.
