# <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.
