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: Stockholm uses the SEK (kr) and Kigali uses the RWF (Fr). Language shifts too — Swedish in Stockholm, English in Kigali. Cars drive on the right in both, so rentals feel familiar.

What's the time difference between Stockholm and Kigali?
Stockholm and Kigali share the same offset (GMT+2), so there's no difference right now.
When's the best time to schedule a meeting?
There are 8 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.
