Most space shuttle missions have been to the International Space Station. The correct term would be to dock at the station, not to land there (since it is not located on land, but is floating in space).

Space shuttles used to land at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida or at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The space shuttle program has been retired, and modern spacecraft like SpaceX's Crew Dragon now land in the ocean off the coast of Florida.
