Longest and shortest day in Bucharest

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 15h 32m of daylight.

Between them the day length swings by 6h 42m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:35 on 10 December; the latest is 21:04 on 26 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 05:30 on 15 June to 07:51 on 2 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Bucharest different

From sunset to full civil darkness is 29 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 44.4°N accounts for the 5-minute difference.

Photographers get 56 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.4× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Summer and winter days differ by 6h 42m here, less seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Romania we track.

Between solstices the sunset walks 68° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, NW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Sunset drifts 111 seconds earlier each day this month — 54 minutes from the first of September to the last.

The clocks go back on 25 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 18:16 to 17:15 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.

Planning a sunset photo in Bucharest

Arrive by 18:12. Golden hour opens at 18:27 and the sun is down by 19:06, 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 19:23 and runs to 19:34, the end of civil twilight and 28m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
