Current time in Tallinn, Estonia right now
It is 12:54 am in Tallinn, Estonia 🇪🇪 right now, on Sunday, September 27, 2026. The city keeps Europe/Tallinn, which is EEST at UTC+3, so Tallinn is 3 hours ahead of UTC, where it is 9:54 pm. The sun rose in Tallinn at 7:17 am and sets at 7:06 pm, which is 11 hours 50 minutes of daylight.
What time is it in Tallinn right now?
The time in Tallinn, Estonia is 12:54 am, 00:54 on a 24 hour clock, on Sunday September 27, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the Europe/Tallinn rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
Tallinn sits at 59.44 degrees north and 24.75 degrees east, close to the subpolar latitudes and 6,609 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 45.0 degrees east, and the city itself is 20.2 degrees west of that line. Those 20.2 degrees are worth 80 minutes 59 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 1:12 pm rather than on the stroke of twelve.
Tallinn time zone and UTC offset
The IANA zone for Tallinn, Estonia is Europe/Tallinn. Right now it is running at UTC+3 and the abbreviation in force is EEST. Tallinn is on summer time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC+3 rather than the UTC+2 it keeps in winter.
Daylight hours in Tallinn today
The sun rose in Tallinn at 7:17 am and sets at 7:06 pm, which is 11 hours 50 minutes of daylight.

Where Tallinn is on the map
The marker sits at the coordinates this whole page is computed from, so the sun times, the distances and the solar noon above all belong to this exact point rather than to the wider metropolitan area.

Time difference between Tallinn and major cities
Every row below is computed at this instant, so daylight saving on either side is already in it. A positive figure means that city's clock reads later than Tallinn.

Best time to call Tallinn
Treating a working day as 9am to 6pm on both sides, this is the window the two cities genuinely share. Some of these pairs have no shared working hour at all, which is worth knowing before a meeting is proposed.

Cities on Europe/Tallinn time
2 of our cities keep Europe/Tallinn, so every one of them reads 12:54 am at this moment and changes its clocks on the same night as Tallinn. Nearest first:

Moon phase over Tallinn tonight
The moon is a waning gibbous tonight, 15.8 days into its cycle and about 99% lit. The next full moon falls on October 26, 2026 at 6:11 am Tallinn time, and the next new moon on October 10, 2026 at 6:49 pm. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Tallinn clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Tallinn
The next change is on Sunday, October 25, 2026, 28 days from now, when the clocks in Tallinn go back 1 hour at 3:59 am and the offset moves from UTC+3 to UTC+2.
Two things follow from that. Any standing call with Tallinn shifts by an hour on that date unless the other side moves the same weekend, and every offset printed on this page is the offset for today rather than a fixed property of the city.
How far Tallinn is from other cities
Great-circle distance, computed from the coordinates rather than road mileage. The nearest city we cover to Tallinn is Lasnamaee, Estonia at 6 km, and the furthest is Dunedin, New Zealand at 17,303 km, which is 86% of the way to being exactly opposite.
| City | km | miles | Direction | Their time |

The antipode of Tallinn
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Tallinn, Estonia and you come out at 59.44 degrees south, 155.25 degrees west. That point is in the South Pacific Ocean. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Dunedin, New Zealand, 2,713 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 10:54 am on Sunday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 59.44 degrees north becomes 59.44 degrees south, and 24.75 degrees east becomes 155.25 degrees west. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Tallinn is no exception. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC-9, roughly twelve hours from Tallinn, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in Tallinn
Today the sun rises in Tallinn at 7:17 am and sets at 7:06 pm, giving 11 hours 50 minutes of daylight. The dedicated page for this city carries the month by month table, the longest and shortest days of 2026, the golden and blue hour bands at both ends of the day, and all three twilight stages: sunrise and sunset times in Tallinn.

Sun and moon in Tallinn today
The sun is up in Tallinn for 11 hours 50 minutes today, from 7:17 am to 7:06 pm. The moon sets in Tallinn at 8:21 am and comes up again at 6:42 pm. The next phase is the last quarter on October 3, 2026. The moon is full, or as near to it as makes no difference, and the whole of the face turned towards us is lit.
| Sun | Time in Tallinn |
|---|---|
| Astronomical dawn | 4:56 am |
| Nautical dawn | 5:47 am |
| Civil dawn | 6:36 am |
| Sunrise | 7:17 am |
| Solar noon | 1:12 pm |
| Sunset | 7:06 pm |
| Civil dusk | 7:47 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 8:35 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 9:26 pm |
Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.
| Light band | Time in Tallinn | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 6:36 am to 6:52 am | 0h 16m |
| Morning golden hour | 6:52 am to 8:11 am | 1h 19m |
| Evening golden hour | 6:12 pm to 7:31 pm | 1h 19m |
| Evening blue hour | 7:31 pm to 7:47 pm | 0h 16m |
Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.
| Moon | Reading in Tallinn |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 6:42 pm |
| Moonset | 8:21 am |
| Phase | waning gibbous, waning |
| Illumination | 99% of the disc lit |
| Moon age | 16.2 days since the new moon |
| Distance | 376,900 km |
Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

No hour on Sunday, September 27, 2026 is inside 9 to 5 in all 5 places, so nothing is highlighted as a shared working hour. Los Angeles and Delhi are 12 hours 30 minutes apart, which is more than the eight hour working day leaves room for. The closest is 3 of 5: from 11:00 am in Tallinn it is working hours in Tallinn, London and Delhi, but outside them in Los Angeles and New York. A meeting across this set has to be early or late for somebody.
Prayer times in Tallinn
Seven days from September 27, 2026, computed for Tallinn, Estonia at 59.44 degrees north, 24.75 degrees east, on the clock of Europe/Tallinn. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.
| Date | Fajr | Sunrise | Dhuhr | Asr | Maghrib | Isha |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sunday September 27 | 4:56 am | 7:17 am | 1:12 pm | 4:11 pm | 7:06 pm | 9:17 pm |

| Saturday October 3 | 5:12 am | 7:30 am | 1:10 pm | 3:58 pm | 6:48 pm | 8:58 pm |
Dhuhr is solar noon at Tallinn, Estonia, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.
Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.
Qibla direction from Tallinn
From Tallinn, Estonia the qibla is 157.6 degrees on a true compass, which is south-southeast, or 22.4 degrees west of due south. The Kaaba is 4,393 km away, 2,730 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Tallinn, Estonia to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.
The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Tallinn, Estonia before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.
Put a Tallinn clock on your site
A live clock showing the current time in Tallinn, Estonia, ready to paste into any page that accepts HTML. It reads Europe/Tallinn from the time zone database, so it stays right when Tallinn changes its clocks, and it shows EEST to every visitor wherever they are reading from. It is a plain iframe: no account, no script to install, nothing to pay.
The box needs 183 pixels of height for these settings, which is what the code above sets, and the numbers show at full size from 305 pixels of width up. Narrower than that they scale down rather than wrapping, and turning a line off makes the box shorter. The code updates with either.
