Caracas is the capital of Venezuela, with a population of about 3,000,000. It uses the Venezuela Time time zone (IANA identifier America/Caracas).

Caracas does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC−4 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.

Other cities on the same clock include Maracaibo.

Because Caracas lies at 10.49° N, 66.88° W, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 12 h 44 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 31 min.
