Depending on the context it could mean:

Whereabouts? For example; ¿Por dónde está o queda el restaurante?

= Whereabouts is the restaurant?

I hope this helps grin

It could actually have a few different meanings...it would be best if you could give us the sentence or context in which the phrase was used.

In my understanding, it means Where? but it is used when the answer has "over (here/there)"

Example: ¿Por dónde vives? Vivo por allí.

Where do you live? I live over there.

But in other cases, you simply use dónde.

Example: ¿Dónde vives? Vivo en Paris.

Where do you live? I live in Paris.
