From the cities below the Qibla runs from 104.0° (east-southeast) in Madrid to 148.2° (south-southeast) in Stockholm, measured clockwise from true north. Each bearing follows the great circle, the shortest path over the globe, so it differs by about 8° to 13° from a straight line drawn on a flat Mercator map.
A regular compass points to magnetic north, not true north, so it needs a different number. Across these cities magnetic declination (WMM2025, November 2026) runs from 0.7° E in Madrid to 7.8° E in Stockholm; the magnetic column already allows for it. The nearest city to the Kaaba here is Vienna at 3,637 km, the furthest Oslo at 4,851 km.

Calculated for each city centre with the same great-circle formula as the Qibla Finder (Kaaba at 21.4225° N, 39.8262° E, mean earth radius 6,371 km). Magnetic bearing = true bearing minus declination (east positive), from NOAA's World Magnetic Model 2025 for November 2026. Your own bearing varies a little across a city; use the live finder for your exact spot.
