Fall Forest! Sounds to me like this is what we can expect from it:

The fall forests look amazing in the Official Trailer. I'm going to love hunting with my bow!

Riften seems the most intriguing, mostly because of this piece of concept art: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4lrm97dBqNo/TUFlf8E0PZI/AAAAAAAAAYM/zpU1C-tvpWw/s1600/artofskyrim_004_town.jpg

The ubiquitous, inexplicable boulders in Oblivion got on my nerves. I'm looking forward to an open, relatively flat expanse of whiteness.

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.

Whoa, where'd you get that concept art?

On topic: I'm looking forward to seeing solitude and the tundra/marsh area. I kinda want to see what the city's like after hearing about it from lore.

It's from the video "The Art of Skyrim" on gameinformer.

I found it on this blog through Google: http://darklythroughglass.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2011-02-04T21%3A15%3A00Z&max-results=8
It's technically from the Art of Skyrim video on GameInformer.

I can't wait to see the mountains and canyons around Markarth Side. I really want to get that whole Misty Mountains feel from the ranges in Skyrim, with the caves, the giants, and everything.

I will love hunting in the fall forest, too. Of course, I'll also be headed as far north as possible to see Dawnstar to take in the beautiful view of the icy, northern sea.

Edit: I just looked at the link above. OMG, pimp Orc armor, and WALRUSES!!!!!!

If you look closely on that map you can see inscribed in red the words "EMPIRE" next to Solitude and "REBELS" next to Windhelm. I guess we now know who's on which side!

The forests sound like the place for my khajiit huntress. She loves that kind of place.
