City distance calculator

Driving distance between cities

Estimate the road distance and driving time between two towns or cities. The result also includes the air-line distance for a useful geographic comparison.

01

City distance

How far is it by road?

Type at least three characters and choose a town or city suggestion. The selected city coordinates are used to calculate one available driving route.

Road and air distance

How far apart are these cities?

Choose two towns or cities to estimate road distance and driving time, then compare them with the shortest geographic distance.

Understand the result

Road distance first, geographic context second

01

Driving distance

The main result follows one available road route. Another reasonable route can be longer or shorter, so check current conditions and the exact route before travelling.

02

Estimated time

The duration is a planning estimate, not an arrival promise. Traffic, stops, borders, ferries, weather and temporary restrictions can change the journey.

03

Air-line distance

The Haversine calculation measures the geometric minimum over the Earth’s surface. It helps explain scale but does not follow roads.

Method

What this distance means

Road result: the selected city reference points are submitted for a driving-route calculation. The returned road distance and duration describe one calculated route and may differ from the road or departure time you choose.

Air-line comparison: the Haversine formula uses a mean Earth radius of 6,371.0088 kilometres. If the road calculation is unavailable, the page shows a clearly labelled rough planning estimate derived from that distance rather than presenting it as a real route.
