The prepositions nach, in, an, and auf can be used to mean to a place.

2Two-way prepositionsan, auf, and in are three examples of two-way prepositions. This means that they take the dative case to indicate location and the accusative case to indicate movement. When using the question word wohin, you are implying movement from one place to another. Therefore, the objects of the prepositions an, auf, in are going to be in the accusative case.

3nach The preposition nach is used to indicate going to a country, city, state, or island that is not proceeded by an article (die, der, das, etc)4
