Working across São Paulo and Brussels

São Paulo is a finance city and Brussels a EU institutions city; the two economies buy from each other rather than compete. The gap is 4 hours, with Brussels the one whose clock reads later.

Both cities work Monday to Friday, São Paulo typically 09:00–18:00 and Brussels 09:00–17:30 local time. Watch for Carnival (Monday to Ash Wednesday, February or March) and Tiradentes Day (21 April) in São Paulo and National Day (21 July) and Assumption (15 August) in Brussels. Replies slow in São Paulo during Carnival week and the turn of the year and in Brussels during mid-July to mid-August.

Book between 09:00–13:00 in São Paulo (13:00–17:00 in Brussels); 4 hours of overlap means neither side takes the call early or late. Only Brussels changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while São Paulo stays put.
