This condition causes Binjai city be a haven for tourists who want to travel either out or in to the Binjai city it self every day. Determination of the shortest path is an important aspect for tourists to determine which one is the optimal distance for traveling in Binjai city. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be used as a solution for this problem. GIS can be applied in the shortest path searching algorithm. In this study, the A* algorithm is used to search the shortest path. Results from this system is the shortest path from origin to destination point from selected path to be passed by tourists.
