Best time to call or meet

Berlin and Sydney have no overlap in standard 9-to-5 working hours, so one side needs to start early or finish late. If you stretch the day to 7 AM to 10 PM in both cities, the shared window is 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM in Berlin (3:00 PM to 10:00 PM in Sydney).

The best time to call is around 10:30 AM in Berlin (6:30 PM in Sydney). That time falls outside standard 9-to-5 hours in at least one city. These times use the usual gap; for a few weeks each year, shift them by the difference noted above.
