The space shuttle could, in an emergency, land at any airport having a runway at least 3km (about 10,000 feet) long.
There is a list of designated secondary landing sites, most of which are US Air Force Bases or military bases of allied countries, but a few of which are commercial airports with at least one suitable runway. For the most part, they're either low-traffic or could reasonably divert regular traffic to nearby airports while the shuttle landed. Probably the best-known US airport that is also a designated potential landing site for the shuttle is JFK airport in New York (JFK's inbound traffic could be diverted to one of the area's other major airports, if absolutely necessary).

Space shuttles do not have the capacity to hold enough fuel to reach the moon. Also, they could not land on the moon as they need a runway and have no other alternative way of landing.
