Every time I see Gandalf make an O-shaped mouth in the trilogy I find it impossible not to chortle

Middle Earth, easily.

You think the Wall is cool? Check out Mount Doom, Dwarf cities are insane too.

The shire is gorgeous of course, go visit Tom Bombadil, but make sure to sing so those damn trees don't snatch you up.

Go visit the elves, Minis Tirith, I'm not sure how Westeros could be better in anyone's mind.

Westeros really seems more like a place that could exist on our Earth. Middle Earth is nothing like that. In the thread the other day one of the things people liked most about GOT is that they thought it was more like reality. Which is exactly why I would prefer to visit the fantasy world that is Middle Earth.

But I'm a significantly bigger LOTR fan than GOT
