Compare with
anderswo vs auswärts
away / out
Anderswo means simply in a different place from here. Auswärts more strongly implies that the place is outside the home or usual location, often outside one's own city as well. Use anderswo for a neutral comparison of places; auswärts is more suitable for an activity outside one's usual surroundings.
anderswo
Wenn das Geschäft hier geschlossen ist, kaufen wir die Getränke anderswo.
If the shop is closed here, we'll buy the drinks elsewhere.
auswärts
Heute essen wir auswärts, weil zu Hause niemand kochen möchte.
