On March 28, Bulgaria will switch to summer saving time

On the last Sunday in March, we will turn the clocks one hour forward. The change of the time will take place at 03.00 on the night of March 28.

Although in 2018 over 80% of European citizens said they wanted the time change to be abolished and it was decided that this would happen by October 2021, there is still no agreement between the countries on which time should stay permanent – the summer or winter time.

So, this Sunday we will sleep an hour less, and the winter time will return on October 31.
