Time Zone
Time in Finland is 2 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The time difference between Eastern U.S. Standard Time and Finnish Standard Time is 7 hours.
Daylight saving time (DST) begins across the EU on 28 March 2010 when clocks are moved forward an hour and it ends on 31 October 2010 when clocks are put back an hour. The dates for 2011 are 27 March and 30 October.
The 24-hour timetable is usually followed, so shop signs might read as follows, for example: 09.00-21.00 (meaning from nine to nine), or 07.00-19.00 (seven to seven).
