Would the following sentence also be correct? 銀行までどう行きますか

I think so but I would say 銀行までどうやって行きますか。 which is more natural.

        銀行 should be accepted, no?

          Why does it have to be まで instead of に?

          It does not have to be. You can use に

            Not according to Duolingo. に is marked wrong.

              に is a directional particle that can be translated as "to" so it should be accepted. Just report it

                What is the reason for まで？

                まで means "up to" or "until" - so literally "How to go until I reach the bank?"

                  Does anyone know the purpose of "yatte"? Isn't just "dou" already "how"

                  どう means how in general but どうやって is more specific to mean "how to take an action to achieve something."

                  どう考（かんが）えますか How is it? (or what do you think) but

                  どうやって考えますか How to think?

                    could someone please explain the sentence? why isn't it simply 銀行にどう行きますか

                      Shouldn`t どうやってぎんこうに行きますか be accepted?

                      is "どうやってぎんこにいきますか" acceptable as well? (に instead of まで)

                      Yes, provided that you spell ぎんこう correctly.
