Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Dublin uses the EUR (€) and Reykjavík uses the ISK (kr). Language shifts too — English in Dublin, Icelandic in Reykjavík. Be careful behind the wheel: Dublin drives on the left, Reykjavík on the right.

Quick answers. Before you book the call.
What's the time difference between Dublin and Reykjavík?
Dublin is 1 hour behind Reykjavík. Dublin runs on GMT+1 and Reykjavík on GMT+0. The gap can shift by an hour when either side enters or leaves daylight saving — the live clocks above always reflect the current offset.
When's the best time to schedule a meeting?
There are 7 hours where both cities are inside a 09:00–17:00 workday. Aim for the middle of that window so neither side is starting or closing out.
Does daylight saving time change the difference?
Yes, if either city observes DST. When one side shifts and the other doesn't, the gap changes by one hour. The DST badges under each clock show whether each zone is currently shifted and when the next transition lands.
How far is Dublin from Reykjavík?
About 1,495 km as the crow flies (great-circle distance). A non-stop commercial flight cruises that in roughly 2h 16m, not counting airport time, winds, or routing around restricted airspace.

What currency do Dublin and Reykjavík use?

What language is spoken in Dublin and Reykjavík?
