The countdown, according to the universal settlement agreement, on our globe comes from the zero meridian, which is otherwise called Greenwich. Time in countries located to the right of it is counted with an error expressed by the "+" sign, to the left - by the "-" sign. The number of hours behind or ahead of the main time is calculated based on the distance from the zero meridian of the time zone in which the country is located. The question on the agenda is: what is the time difference between Vienna and Moscow?
Austrian Time Zone
Since all Central European countries, including Austria with its capital Vienna, are in close proximity to the Greenwich meridian, its time error is only +1. That is, while in the zone of the zero meridian the time will be 12 o'clock in the afternoon, in Vienna it will already be an hourday, that is, noon was already there an hour ago.
Russian Time Zone
With Russia, everything is much more complicated. From west to east, it has a huge length, and therefore, like little Austria, it does not fit into one time zone. Moreover, it is crossed by many time zones. For example, the Moscow region, which was previously in the +4 time zone, after the government refused to switch to winter-summer time, is now permanently in the +3 time zone, so the time difference between Moscow and Vienna is 2 hours. That is, while in Austria it will be noon, in Moscow the chimes will strike two in the afternoon. But this error is true only in winter. Since in Austria in summer, unlike in Russia, they switch clocks to summer time, that is, they add +1 to the existing error, then in summer the time difference with Moscow will be only 1 hour.
Difference with other Russian cities
But not all tourists live in Moscow and St. Petersburg alone, by the way, located in the same time zone. For those who want to go to the Austrian capital from the hinterland, we will publish the difference with the capital of Austria separately. Let's start with Kaliningrad, which is located in the +3 time zone. He will have no difference with Austria at all in the summer. We have already found out the time difference between Moscow and Vienna, it was 1 hour in summer and 2 hours in winter. Move on. DST difference between Vienna and:
- Ufa, Orenburg – 2 hours
- Chelyabinsk, Tyumen – 3 hours
- Novosibirsk, Tomsk - 4h.
- Norilsk, Krasnoyarsk – 5 hours
- Irkutsk, Chita - 6 hours
- Khabarovsk, Vladivostok – 7 hours
- Magadan, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky – 9 hours
For winter time, +1 hour will need to be added to these figures.
Happy holidays to everyone who is going to ski resorts in Austria!
