Good to know about the time in the Netherlands
The Netherlands is on the same time as France all year round: UTC+1 in winter, UTC+2 in summer. Time in Amsterdam
Until 1940, the country ran on Amsterdam time, about twenty minutes ahead of Greenwich: one of the last legal times based on the local time of a city. The German occupation imposed Central European Time, which has been kept ever since. The Dutch Caribbean islands (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, Saba) are on UTC−4.
