Time in Denmark

Most of the year, Denmark is seven hours ahead of Minneapolis.

Although it won't affect our trip, Europe starts and ends Daylight Savings Time at different times than we do (it's called European Summer Time over there). Their DST starts on the last Sunday in March and ends on the last Sunday in October, while ours (starting in 2007) starts on Second Sunday in March and end the First Sunday of November.

The clock pictured here is the Jen's Olsen World Clock. It was designed by the astromer Jens Olsen (shocker) and displays the local time, the solar time, sidereal time, sunrises, sunsets, firmament and celestial pole migrations, planet revolutions, the Gregorian calendar including moing holidays. If you want to check it out, it is in a side room of the Rådhuset (city hall) which is one block southeast of the Rådhuspladsen near Tivoli.
