¿Está lejos de aquí?

When to use

This question is useful for determining if a destination is within walking distance or requires transportation.

How it works

It uses the verb 'estar' (to be) to indicate location or distance. 'Lejos' means 'far', and 'de aquí' means 'from here'.

• ¿Está: Is it (referring to a place)
• lejos: far
• de aquí: from here

Estar for location

In Spanish, the verb 'estar' is always used to talk about the physical location of people, places, and things, even if that location is permanent.
