I've been learning about particles lately. As I'm still new to the language, I
can't tell the difference between these two particles when used for locations
for example:

> 街を歩く

Does this mean walk through town?

> 街に歩く

Does this mean walk to town?

question
particle-に particle-を
What's the difference between particle を and に when used for location
「街 **を** 歩く」means that people walks around a town and they must be inside of
town. Here is another particle 「 **へ** 」, which is more familiar than 「 **に**
」 in this context. If people said that「街へ歩く」, this means that people head to a
town and they probably are on their way to visit and must be outside of town.
「街に歩く」isn't a correct exression to use particle 「に」. To make it more sense
with 「 **に** 」, I'd say 「街に向かって歩く」, which means almost the same as「街へ歩く」.
