Washington, D.C. and Rome Time Difference

Best time for family calls

Scheduling a family call between Washington, D.C. and Rome takes a little planning. Washington, D.C. is 6 hours behind Rome, which means there's no window that feels comfortable for everyone at the same time. The most manageable option is early evening in Washington, D.C. — around 7 pm — which puts Rome at 1 am. Someone will need to stretch a little, but at least no one's setting a middle-of-the-night alarm. Weekends tend to give the most flexibility if you can agree on a time in advance.
