Braslia Time is the time zone observed in Braslia, the capital of Brazil, and most of the central-west region of the country. It is three hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC03:00) and one hour ahead of Eastern Time (ET05:00). Braslia Time is also known as BRT (Braslia Rotation Time).
Braslia Time was created in 1968, when Brazil adopted a new time zone system. The system was designed to reduce the number of time zones in the country and to make it easier for people to travel between different parts of Brazil. Braslia Time is now the most widely used time zone in Brazil, and it is also used in some neighboring countries, such as Paraguay and Uruguay.
