To reach a place at the end of a journey.
Besides travel, the verb is used for things and moments: a parcel arrives, a season arrives, a baby arrives. It also carries the sense of reaching a conclusion, as when a committee arrives at a decision. The word goes back to a Latin phrase about coming to the shore, which explains the preposition at that so often follows it.

- The train will arrive at noon.
- Guests began to arrive before the music started.
