Call Portugal from Russia

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

Russia spans 11 time zones from UTC+2 (Kaliningrad) to UTC+12 (Kamchatka), so identify your recipient's specific location before calling—Moscow operates on UTC+3 year-round since Russia abolished daylight saving time in 2014. For best results, aim to call between 9 AM-6 PM in their local time, and remember that the vast time difference means calling Russia's Far East from Western countries often requires early morning or late evening calls. 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.
