The quick answer to this question is about 2,540,000 light years.
To put that figure in perspective, however, I will illustrate how big a light year is.
Light travels at about 670 million miles per hour. In one year, it will go 5,878,625,400,000 miles (5.878 trillion miles). That is a light year.
Our fastest spacecraft so far, Voyager 1 has taken 31 years to fly just 10,000,000,000 (10 billion) miles. It will take about 16,360 years just to fly one light year.
If Voyager 1 were flying towards Andromeda at its current speed, it would take 41.3 billion years (3 times the current age of the Universe) to get there. However, Andromeda is coming this way, and will collide with the Milky Way
in about 2 billion years. Humans will have evolved, and we would have moved out of Sol due to gravity assist. Bit of a nerd joke: Maybe find the universes and races from Mass Effect. That was a joke.

The Andromeda Galaxy is about 24 000 000 000 000 000 000 km away from Earth.
Which galaxy is 2.2 million light years away?
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31 galaxy).
How far is Andromeda galaxy from the Sun?
About 2.5 million light years from Earth, but since the Earth and Sun are only 8 light minutes apart, there isn't that much of a difference in how far the Andromeda Galaxy is from the Sun or Earth. So the Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years from the Sun and Earth.
How far is the star on near side of Andromeda galaxy?
The distance to the Andromeda Galaxy is estimated at 2.5 million light-years. The distinction between "near side" and "far side" is irrelevant, since the diameter of the Andromeda Galaxy is probably less than the error in the distance estimation.
How far is the Andromeda galaxy from the milky way galaxy?
The Andromeda galaxy is located approximately 2.537 million light-years away from the Milky Way galaxy. This makes it the closest spiral galaxy to our own.
