The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:15 on 11 December; the latest is 21:03 on 26 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 13m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Chisinau different

Light lingers for 30 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 6 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 47°N buys you.

Evening golden hour runs 60 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 47° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Over a year the sunset point slides 71° along the horizon, from SW at the December solstice to NW in June. Today it is W.

Across October the sunset moves 115 minutes earlier, averaging about 4 minutes a day.

On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 16:59 instead of 18:01. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.

Planning a sunset photo in Chisinau

Arrive by 17:30. Golden hour opens at 17:45 and the sun is down by 18:27, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 261° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:45 and runs to 18:57, the end of civil twilight and 30m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
