Longest and shortest day in Sarajevo

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 15h 28m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 3 months, with 8h 54m.

Between them the day length swings by 6h 33m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:08 on 9 December; the latest is 20:32 on 27 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 05:03 on 15 June to 07:20 on 3 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Sarajevo different

Sitting on the eastern side of its time zone puts solar noon at 11:37, a full 22 minutes before twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 12:37.

Light lingers for 29 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 5 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 43.8°N buys you.

Evening golden hour runs 56 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 43.8° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 6h 33m here — among the narrowest of the 5 cities tracked in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 67° round to NW. Tonight, W.

By the end of September the sun will be setting 53 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 110 seconds a day.

On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 16:47 instead of 17:48. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.

Standing 509 m up buys you 4.3 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 0.78° here.

Planning a sunset photo in Sarajevo

Arrive by 17:44. Golden hour opens at 17:59 and the sun is down by 18:37, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 269° 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 18:54 and runs to 19:05, the end of civil twilight and 28m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

Golden hour in Sarajevo — times, duration and the best months Morning and evening windows, the next seven days, and how much golden light each month gives you.
