Travel Planning Guide

How to Calculate Distance Between Two Cities

Understand the difference between geographic distance and actual travel distance.

What is a travel distance calculator?

A travel distance calculator estimates the geographic distance between two locations. This can be useful when comparing destinations, planning trips or estimating the scale of a journey.

What is straight-line distance?

Straight-line distance is the shortest geographic distance between two points on the Earth's surface. It is sometimes called great-circle distance when measured across the Earth.

Is straight-line distance the same as road distance?

No. Road distance is normally longer because roads follow highways, streets, bridges, terrain and other routes. The calculator on this page provides an approximate geographic distance rather than live turn-by-turn road directions.

Why are kilometers and miles both shown?

Kilometers are widely used internationally, while miles are commonly used in countries such as the United States and a few other regions. Showing both units makes the calculator useful for travelers around the world.

How to use this distance calculator

  1. Enter the starting city name.
  2. Enter the destination city name.
  3. Enter the latitude and longitude for both locations.
  4. Click Calculate Distance.
  5. View the approximate distance in kilometers and miles.
Important: This tool calculates approximate straight-line geographic distance from coordinates. It does not provide live road routes, traffic conditions, tolls or current driving directions.
