Halfway between Berlin and Seoul: where to meet

Pick two cities to find places where you can meet halfway, with rough flight times from each side, so neither of you does all the travelling.

Your city
Their city

The exact halfway point is 270 km (170 miles) from the nearest city, ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Nizhnevartovsk: most likely at sea or somewhere remote.

Cities with big airports and plenty to do, where the longer of your two trips is as short as possible.

How it works

  1. Pick your city and theirs. Smaller towns work too: the nearest big airport does the rest.
  2. We look at well-connected cities around the world and find the ones where the longer of your two trips is shortest.
  3. Each suggestion shows how long each of you would travel, and how far the clocks move for each of you.
  4. Copy the address and send it to your partner, so you're both looking at the same options.

Tips for meeting halfway

Neutral ground takes the pressure off

Somewhere new to both of you means neither person is the host. You explore together, which gives you plenty to talk about.

Split the cost, not just the distance

Flights from one side can cost far more than from the other. Agree up front how you'll share travel and the place you stay.

Check visas for both of you

A city that's easy for one passport can need a visa for the other. Check the entry rules for each of you before you book anything.

Book something you can cancel

For a first meeting, flexible tickets and a refundable stay give you room if plans change.
