About Istanbul's Time Zone
Istanbul is in the UTC+3 time zone, the same as Turkey, so there is currently no time difference. Track the exact live time above, updated every second.
Istanbul is Turkey's largest city and historic capital, uniquely straddling Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus strait.
Turkey abolished seasonal clock changes in 2016 and has stayed on a fixed UTC+3 offset year-round ever since, so Istanbul's time never shifts with the seasons.
