Longest and shortest day in Amsterdam

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 16h 48m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 7h 40m.

Between them the day length swings by 9h 7m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:26 on 13 December; the latest is 22:06 on 25 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:17 on 17 June to 08:50 on 30 December.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 16m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Amsterdam different

On standard time the sun peaks at 12:42, 43 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 13:42.

From sunset to full civil darkness is 37 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 52.4°N accounts for the 13-minute difference.

Evening golden hour runs 68 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 52.4° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it SW, June swings it 81° round to NW. Tonight, WNW.

By the end of August the sun will be setting 61 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 2 minutes a day.

The clocks go back on 25 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 18:26 to 17:24 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.

Planning a sunset photo in Amsterdam

Arrive by 19:43. Golden hour opens at 19:58 and the sun is down by 20:44, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 289° 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 21:06 and runs to 21:20, the end of civil twilight and 36m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
