Leeds is a wonderful city, ________ I paid a two-day visit during Chirstmas.
A. to which B. where

I know A is definitely right. But could I choose B, too?

Is it right from the point of a native's view?

Thanks

B wouldn't sound right. I think you have to use the word "to" when you are using the phrase "paid a visit"

But why can we say as follows:
Leeds is the city where he lives=Leeds is the city in which he lives.

Also we have a phrase:live in someplace.

I think both examples have something in common.

Consider this:

Leeds is a wonderful city, where I paid a two-day visit to my aunt's cottage during Chirstmas.
