There's a kind of default 'to go' verb in all the Slavic languages I know about, but you can't use it in certain contexts. In Polish, for example, you can similarly say: Idę do sklepu (I'm going to the store) With no implication about mode of transit. For that matter, you can even say: Lecę do sklepu (I'm flying to the store), to imply that you're in a hurry. But you would never say: Idę do Moskwy (I'm going to Moscow) Unless you were actually going there on foot. Sometimes the appropriate verb is required.
