Hands down, I would go to Moominland! The Moomin series was written in the ‘40’s by Swede Tove Jannson who also illustrated her captivating, engaging books for youngsters. She also illustrated these fantasies as well as The Hobbit and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The Moomins are trolls who, while hibernating, are left sleeping as one little troll wakes up and wanders. He sadly discovers he is in a cold, lonely place where he does not belong! When he meets Too-Ticky and Little My, the adventures begin! My wish to visit Moominland is to meet these endearing characters and all the creatures that suspend one’s disbelief. Is this Iceland? Is this Norway? Is this the North Pole? Read these gems aloud to your cherubs or disappear and consume them for your own fantastical pleasure!
I've always wanted to visit the Kingdom of Wisdom from The Phantom Tollbooth. Also Oz but the book versions not the movies (certainly not the Return to Oz version 🥴 ).
I've spent so much mental time in or around Buckkeep Castle (Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings), that I'd love to travel its secret passageways for myself.
Rivendell - Tolkien
The Shire. All those meals and the wonderful company of Hobbits.
The House from Susanna Clarke’s Piranesi.
Ah, great one!
Just don’t stay too long!

How delightful! Thanks for sharing, Liz. :)
Pern - intelligent dragons you can fly on (Mcaffrey)
Shannara -
Haven't read any of her books. They're on my list.
Definitely worth reading she started them in the 60’s so think like 20 plus now.
Just watch out for Thread!
Ha ha luckily fire breathing dragons to the rescue
I would love to hang out in Harper's Hall... good choice in Pern.
Macondo!
Had to look that one up! The book is on my list for this year. :)
The Metropol Hotel any time between the years of 1922 and 1955.
I grew up where Louise Penney writes about and know it well

Middle Earth, particularly Rohan and Rivendell, but really most of it.
Ankh-Morpork. Or most places in the discworld to be honest!
Definitely I could live in Three Pine. Despite the crimes it's such a cozy and lovely place.
The bookshop! The cafe! So cozy. :) Would make for a great vacation spot as long as you don't get murdered haha.
I got to visit “the shire” and Prince Edward Island in my lifetime- dreams come true! I’d have to say Hogswarts Hogswarts Hoggy warty Hogswarts.
Not a fictional place, but Tudor England
Three Pines, Canada; ( Midsommer,England; Shetland, Scotland).
