where, which where和which都可用来引导定语从句,但在定语从句中的作用不同。where是关系副词用作状语,而which是关系代词用作主语或宾语等。试比较:
That's the place where we once lived.
那就是我曾经居住过的地方。
That's the place which we once visited.
那就是我曾经访问过的地方。
They live where the police can't get them.他们住在警察抓不到他们的地方。
He lives not where I had been, but a distance away.他不是住在我曾经去过的那个地方,而是离那儿更远的地方。

学习参考
where有时也可用作代词,意思是“什么地方,哪里”。例如:
Where are you from?你是哪里人?
Where are you going to?你到什么地方去?
