Current time in Moscow

Moscow is the historic capital of Russia, a city where centuries of heritage meet modern life. Built around the famous Kremlin and its red walls overlooking the Red Square and the Moskva River, it has grown into one of Europe's largest cities by population. Moscow is known for its golden-domed churches, stunning metro stations, and a large Muslim community with deep historical roots and numerous mosques and Islamic centers across the city.

Moscow observes Moscow Standard Time (MSK / UTC+3) throughout the year and does not use daylight saving time, so its UTC offset remains constant in every season. The live clock at the top of this page updates automatically in your browser to display the current local time in Moscow wherever you are.

Located at approximately 55.8° north latitude, Moscow experiences dramatic seasonal changes in daylight. Summer brings the famous White Nights, when the sky remains bright late into the evening, while winter brings shorter days and early sunsets. As a result, sunrise, sunset, and daily prayer times shift significantly from month to month, following the sun's movement.

Prayer times on this page are calculated using the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Russia method. You can also view the complete monthly prayer timetable, use the Prayer Clock to track the time remaining until the next prayer, and access the Qibla Finder to determine the direction of Makkah accurately from anywhere in Moscow.
