Questions & Answers about Budu cestovat autem do jiného města.

Why do we use Budu in this sentence?

Budu is the future form of the verb být (to be), used here with the infinitive cestovat (to travel). This construction expresses a future action: "I will travel."

What case is autem in, and why?

Autem is in the instrumental case. In Czech, when talking about traveling by a means of transport, we typically use the instrumental to indicate "by car," "by train," etc.

Why do we have do here instead of some other preposition?

Do is commonly used with the genitive case to indicate movement into or to a place. It pairs with jiného města to convey the idea of traveling "to another city."

How does jiného města work grammatically?

Both words are in the genitive case after do. Jiného is a declension of jiný (another), agreeing with města (city) in gender and case, so you see the genitive form jiného paired with the genitive singular města.

Can I say this sentence in another way without changing the meaning?

Yes, you could say something like Pojedu autem do jiného města (using pojedu instead of budu cestovat). The meaning remains essentially the same, though pojedu is a more direct future form of jet (to go by vehicle).
