EXPLORE ANTIPODES BY CITY
Every city on Earth has a hidden counterpart — a point on the opposite side of the planet, connected by an invisible line through its core. This page lets you explore those antipodes city by city, revealing where the world turns upside down: land becomes ocean, hemispheres reverse, seasons flip, and familiar places are mirrored in unexpected ways. Choose a city to discover its exact antipode, explore the geography on the other side of Earth, and uncover the quiet symmetry that connects distant places.
Featured Antipodes
Start with a few favourites — then search by city to discover what lies directly opposite.
Note: An antipode is always about half the planet away (≈ 20,015 km / 12,437 mi). What changes is what you find on the other side.

ANTIPODE FAQ
Can two cities be exact antipodes?
Exact city-to-city antipodes are extremely rare. Some locations come close, but most antipodal pairs involve ocean points rather than populated places.
What exactly is an antipode?
It is the point directly opposite another on Earth — connected through the planet’s center. If you could drill straight down through your location, you would emerge at your antipode.
Why do most antipodes fall in the ocean?
Because Earth’s landmasses are clustered on one side of the planet. Over 90% of all antipodes place one point on land and the other in open ocean.
Do any major cities have true land-to-land antipodes?
A few rare pairs exist, including parts of New Zealand ↔ Spain, and parts of Argentina ↔ China. Most large cities do not have a land-based opposite.
Can I share my antipode?
Yes — use the map to find your opposite point, then screenshot or share the coordinates with friends. Yes — use Share Your Antipode to copy a link or generate an image card
