The time difference

For most of the year, Sydney is 8 hours ahead of Berlin. That gap does not hold all year — here is how it actually moves:

Best time to meet

Berlin and Sydney do not share a normal working-hours window. The best compromise is 8:30 AM in Berlin / 4:30 PM in Sydney — still early or late for whoever is furthest from a normal day, which is the honest trade-off at this distance.

Clock changes to plan around

Upcoming public holidays
