(1) How can I go there?

(2) How can I get there?

What is the difference in meaning between "go there" and "get there"? Thanks for your help.
 
Let's create an imaginary conversation.

Don: I want to go to Paris. How can I get there?
Ron: You can go by plane, or you can go by boat. Or (if you're in the UK you can go by car (using the Chunnel).

Thanks for your help. I am still a little confused. When do you say "How do you go there?"?
 
I don't know that I would say How do you go there? l might say "I need to go to XYZ. How do I get there from here?"
