1. to go (to a place); to head for; to visit in person
To go somewhere, especially a place that requires effort or is somewhat formal. Implies a purposeful trip rather than casual movement, and often carries the nuance of going out of one's way.

Usage

Implies purpose and effort — you don't just happen to go somewhere, you actively make the trip. Often used in business and formal contexts.
