# <div id="forwhichtrips"></div> Ashkenazim hold that anytime one travels a distance of 8000 [[Amot]] from one city to another city only if there’s no city within 16,000 [[amot]] along the path one is traveling. If there’s a continuous line of cities along the way within 16,000 [[Amot]] from the city where one departed one should say Tefillat HaDerech without Hashem’s name in the Bracha. <Ref>Biur Halacha 110:7 D”H VeEin says that if there’s a city with 8000 [[Amot]] along the way one shouldn’t say Tefillat HaDerech. Halichot Shlomo (Tefillah 21:7) writes that one is only obligated in Tefillat HaDerech if one travels in an area that there’s no city for 16,000 [[Amot]]. He adds that we calculate the trip by distance and not time. Tefillah KeHilchata 27:26 rules that in order to make the Bracha at the conclusion it must be a trip the distance of 4.7 km (based on the Chazon Ish’s measure of the Amah). </ref> | # <div id="forwhichtrips"></div> Ashkenazim hold that anytime one travels a distance of 8000 [[Amot]] from one city to another city only if there’s no city within 16,000 [[amot]] along the path one is traveling.
