Shkodër, Arnavutluk Güncel Saati — CEST.

Shkodër is the fourth-most-populous city of Albania and the seat of Shkodër County and Shkodër Municipality. Shkodër has been continuously inhabited since the Early Bronze Age, and has roughly 2,200 years of recorded history. The city sprawls across the Plain of Mbishkodra between the southern part of Lake Shkodër and the foothills of the Albanian Alps on the banks of the Buna, Drin and Kir rivers. Due to its proximity to the Adriatic Sea, Shkodër is affected by a seasonal Mediterranean climate with continental influences.

Distance-wise, Shkodër is closest to London (~1,818 km), Dubai (~3,765 km), New York (~7,368 km); Sydney is the far end at roughly 15,742 km. That ordering matters more than the timezone label for travel planning.
