The numbers usually given are a maximum speed of about 25,000 miles per hour.

19 000 mph to the moon, not sure how it slowed down though. Not sure how it managed that speed to get back.
From Apollo by the Numbers (see link below) the Apollo 11 spacecraft is estimated to have traveled 828,743 nautical miles (953,700 statute miles).
The three members of Apollo 11 were Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins.

Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to ever land on the moon. Apollo 8 was the first manned mission to actually travel to the moon, but they did not land.
it took 7 days
Apollo 11 accelerated to about 25,000 miles per hour. It broke free from the earth's gravity and slowed to a lower speed for translunar injection or orbit.
The Apollo spacecraft traveled at a maximum speed of 24,000 mph. To overcome the Earth's gravitational pull, one must travel at or above its escape velocity which is 24,000 mph.
