Call Portugal from Netherlands

When calling internationally, it's important to consider time zone differences to ensure you're calling at a convenient time.

The Netherlands operates on Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October, so aim to call between 9 AM-5 PM local time, which translates to 8 AM-4 PM UTC in winter or 7 AM-3 PM UTC in summer. Be mindful that the Netherlands observes daylight saving time with slightly different start/end dates than North America, which can temporarily create unusual time differences for a few weeks each year. Portugal operates on Western European Time (UTC+0, or UTC+1 during daylight saving from late March to late October), making it ideal to call during their business hours of 9 AM-6 PM, which translates to early morning if you're in the Americas or evening if you're in Asia or Australia. Keep in mind that Portugal follows EU daylight saving rules, so always verify the current time difference during the transition periods in March and October to avoid calling too early or late.
