Asking 'Where to?' vs. 'Where at?'

Use 'adónde' when a verb shows movement towards a place, like 'ir' (to go) or 'viajar' (to travel). Use 'dónde' when asking about a static location. Think of the 'a' at the beginning of 'adónde' as meaning 'to'.

Using 'Dónde' for Movement

Mistake:¿Dónde viajas este verano?

Correction: ¿Adónde viajas este verano? Because traveling involves going *to* a destination, you need 'adónde'.
