What time is it in Tbilisi and Batumi, and what is the difference with Moscow?
Georgia's time zone and the difference with other cities.
Short answer
All of Georgia, including Tbilisi and Batumi, is on one time zone, UTC+4, one hour ahead of Moscow. Georgia does not change to summer or winter time, so the difference with Moscow stays the same all year. When it is 12:00 in Moscow, it is 13:00 in Tbilisi and Batumi.
Why
- Georgia's time is known as Georgia Standard Time, GET.
- Georgia stopped switching to summer time in 2005.
- Moscow is on UTC+3, also without clock changes, so the gap is constant.
Details
The difference with Europe depends on the season: 2 hours with Berlin in summer, 3 in winter. There is no difference with Armenia or Azerbaijan, and 1 hour with Turkey.
