Central European 'Summer' Time Starts March 28

Although the United States will begin observing Daylight Saving Time on March 14, Europe won't "spring ahead" until Sunday, March 28. At 2:00 a.m., the time in Amsterdam will change to Central European Summer Time -- one hour ahead of the current time. Don't forget to set your watch.

Of course, the seasonal time shift in Amsterdam means lovely late sunsets are on the way -- by the end of this month the sun won't go down until 8:15 p.m. That's worth losing the extra hour of sleep!
