Portugal is in the Western European Time Zone. The Western European Time Zone is one hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). During the winter months, when Daylight Saving Time (DST) is not in effect, the time in Portugal is the same as in the UTC time zone. When DST is in effect, the time in Portugal is two hours ahead of UTC.

For example, when it is 12:00 noon in the UTC time zone, it is 1:00 PM in Portugal during the winter months. When DST is in effect, the time in Portugal would be 2:00 PM.
