I have never been there vs I have never gone there

Both sentences are correct, and they are very similar in meaning. 'I have never been there' is used when referring to a place you have never visited, while 'I have never gone there' is used when talking about a place you have never traveled to. The choice between 'been' and 'gone' is mostly up to personal preference.
