contents Let $X$ be a set and $d_1,d_2$ be two distances on $X$. We say that $d_1$ and $d_2$ are locally similar and write $d_1\cong d_2$ if $d_1$ and $d_2$ are topologically equivalent and, for every $a$ in $X$, \[ \lim_{x\to a} \frac{d_2(x,a)}{d_1(x,a)}=1. \] We prove that if $d_1\cong d_2$, then the intrinsic distances induced by $d_1$ and $d_2$ coincide. We also provide sufficient conditions for $d_1\cong d_2$ and consider several examples related to reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces.
