In a sentence
Where is the information desk?
How it works
The topic comes first: は (topic) flags 案内所 (information desk) as “as for the information desk…”. Then どこ (where) fills the blank, and the polite です (is) plus the question particle か (question) close it off. Putting か (question) at the end is the standard polite way to mark a question — no rising tone needed.
