How to Determine the Direction to a Capital City
Finding Your Way to a Capital
The direction you must travel to reach a capital city depends entirely on your starting location and which capital you’re trying to reach. There is no single answer.
Examples
- From New York City to Washington, D.C.: Southwest
- From Los Angeles to Sacramento: North
- From London to Edinburgh: North
- From Sydney to Canberra: Southwest
How to Find the Direction
- Identify your current city and the target capital.
- Use a map or GPS app (Google Maps, Apple Maps) to get the bearing.
- Compass directions (N, NE, E, etc.) or degree bearings are provided.
Always specify both origin and destination for an accurate answer.
