I would say the Reach or Whiterun, for unique geography and High Hrothgar respectively, but I picked Winterhold instead.
It doesn't have much to make it seem appealing at first, but Saarthaal is in that hold, and I'm massively excited to see Saarthal. It's the site of the oldest human settlement on Tamriel, where Ysgramor and his Five Hundred Companions landed with their fleets from Atmora and first fought off the elves and established mankind's hold on the North.
The stories about it have such a grand, norse-saga feel to them, I can't wait to see it.
Solitude seems like the most interesting major city; it's the one we have the most information about, and books like "Potema, Wolf Queen of Solitude" and the stories about the Festival of King Olaf really bring it to life in one's imagination.
The concept art for the tundra of Whiterun makes it look absolutely gorgeous, as well.
I'm sure it's all going to be fantastic.
