Nowhere near as exotic as most places on this thread but it does fit the criteria.
The original Cambridge is definitely a fantasy city. Unfortunately I can only work with reusable pictures here as I only took one photo while I was there.

"But some of us awake in the night with strange phantasms of enchanted hills and gardens, of fountains that sing in the sun, of golden cliffs overhanging murmuring seas, of plains that stretch down to sleeping cities of bronze and stone, and of shadowy companies of heroes that ride caparisoned white horses along the edges of thick forests; and then we know that we have looked back through the ivory gates into that world of wonder which was ours before we were wise and unhappy"

And here's a couple of links to images that I don't have a license to recreate but can direct people to. They'll show you what I mean.

Bah! Cambridge, sir? All the world doth know 'tis but a poor imitation of Oxford of the Dreaming Spires, the true English university city. For shame sir!

I had bethought me, my lord Shadowsoul, that you were a serious man, but now I do perceive mine error. Again I say: Cambridge? Bah!

What, as royalty?
Eosin- ~ "'Wrong' is a D&Dism ~ 'I do it this way' is a Heroism."
SCUBA Hero- "If you did Turn the Palindromedary, how would you know?"
Roxanna: I need a margarita.
Niels: I don't think Dwarves make mixed drinks.
Ithan: That's because when Dwarves mix their alcohol, they get fire and explosions!
It would be wonderful. It would be like that scene in that movie that everyone quotes where the one guy says something awesome to the other guy.
