Many students have problems with the verb ARRIVE and its prepositions.
We can use IN/ON/AT when talking about ‘coming to’, ‘getting to’ or ‘reaching’ a place where a journey ends.
The rule regarding arrive in / arrive on / arrive at is as follows:
- We use arrive in with towns, cities and countries.
They arrived in London yesterday
I don’t know when he will arrive in France
2. We use arrive at for buildings and parts of buildings. For specific places.
We’ll arrive at the station at 5 o’clock.

3. We say arrive on when we refer to a day.
