Where...visit
I thought that f. ex. "Where did you visit in England?" is incorrect, and we should say something like "Which/what places did you visit in England?" as visit is a transitive verb.
Are there situations where "where" and "visit" can be used together?

It's not incorrect, just unusual.
It might be used for emphasis.
Just (exactly) where did you visit in England?
