Answer

get there = 到那裏去
go there = 去那裏

Answer

To get to someplace means to go and to arrive there.  
Usually, it is associated with arrival, but it can be used in the sense of going.
"We need to get to the store" - We need to go to the store.
"When do we get to the store?" - When will we arrive there?
"Get to the market" - Go to the market.
"When you get to the market, you need to buy some rice." - When you are at the market, you need to buy some rice.
"We got to Beijing at 6:00 am" - We arrive at Beijing at 6:00 am.
