The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:52 on 16 December; the latest is 22:26 on 23 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 03:35 on 19 June to 10:01 on 27 December.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 21m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Saint Petersburg different

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:45, a full 46 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

Light lingers for 42 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 18 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 59.9°N buys you.

Evening golden hour runs 83 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 59.9° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 12h 57m, one of the widest swings of any Russia city on the site.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it SW, June swings it 105° round to NW. Tonight, WSW.

Across October the sunset moves 86 minutes earlier, averaging about 3 minutes a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Saint Petersburg

Arrive by 16:52. Golden hour opens at 17:07 and the sun is down by 18:05, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-southwest — the sun goes down at 258° 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 18:30 and runs to 18:46, the end of civil twilight and 41m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
