'To Arrive to' is not a standard verb expression.
'To arrive in' or 'to arrive at' are the norm. For example:
'To arrive in London'
'To arrive at a meeting'
However, the only way that I can think of where 'arrive' can be followed by 'to' is:
a) When followed by another verb in the infinitive. For example:
'My friend arrived to give me a present'
b) When followed by a clarified noun. For example:
'An answer has arrived to my letter'

you will have to memorize. But generally when something very large you arrive in, example, a country, city.
At for buildings I think. I ve just arrived at my brother´s house. I am not sure about this one.
I arrived at the company.

What a very good question!
I have just had a good think about my own language!
I think I am correct in saying that 'to arrive in' is used with countries, cities, towns, villages etc. For example:
'to arrive in the United Kingdom'
'to arrive in London'
'to arrive in Swindon'
I think that 'to arrive at' is used in any other expressions. For example:
'to arrive at work'
'to arrive at Peter's house'
'to arrive at the party'
'to arrive at Buckingham Palace'
'to arrive at the dentist's'
'to arrive at school'
I just thought of another expression - 'to arrive on time', i.e. not late!
