Sofia is located at 42.70°N, 23.32°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Europe/Sofia timezone (GMT+3). It observes Daylight Saving Time, so sunrise and sunset times shift by one hour in spring and autumn.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In Sofia this falls around 13:25 in mid-summer and 12:17 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
