Solar & Astronomical Facts About Netherlands

  • 1Amsterdam midsummer sunsets often fall after 10:00 PM CEST, with civil twilight lasting well past 11:00 PM.
  • 2North Sea dune coasts and Wadden Sea mudflats create wide-horizon sunrise and sunset views.
  • 3The Netherlands observes Central European Time with daylight saving (CET/CEST).

How Seasons Change Sunrise & Sunset in Netherlands

Netherlands follows the northern seasonal clock: longest days around 21 June, shortest around 21 December. At the Amsterdam reference in 2026, June 21 sunrise is 05:18 AM and sunset 10:06 PM (16h 48m); December 21 is 08:47 AM / 04:28 PM (7h 41m).

Netherlands observes Daylight Saving Time, so printed sunrise and sunset jump by an hour when the offset changes — on top of the Sun's real seasonal motion.

Listed cities share one civil timezone, but they still span about 2° of longitude (~9 minutes of true solar time). On 21 June, Groningen sunrise is 05:06 AM while The Hague is 05:22 AM on the same clock.

The Netherlands is compact, so Amsterdam and Groningen disagree by minutes, not hours. The story is latitude plus CEST: midsummer sunsets after 10:00 PM and North Sea horizons that stay bright in civil twilight.

Dunes and Wadden mudflats give wide-open solar azimuths the tables assume; a canal canyon in the city does not. Arrive for azimuth, not only for the minute.
