Time Difference Between Malta and Romania: What You Need to Know

Malta and Romania are one hour apart year-round.

Current Time Zones

• Malta: Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) / Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2)
• Romania: Eastern European Time (EET, UTC+2) / Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, UTC+3)

The Offset

Both countries observe daylight saving time on the same schedule (last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October), so the one-hour difference remains constant:

• Winter (standard time): Malta UTC+1, Romania UTC+2 → Romania is 1 hour ahead
• Summer (DST): Malta UTC+2, Romania UTC+3 → Romania is 1 hour ahead

Practical Example

When it's 12:00 PM in Valletta (Malta), it's 1:00 PM in Bucharest (Romania)—always.

Quick Reference

No seasonal adjustment needed—the gap is fixed at one hour.
