I've just finished Dallergut Dream Department Store and am in the mood for more whimsical strange places or lands that I can imagine running away to for a while. I'm looking for something that really makes you feel you are there.
Preferably not YA or children's – not a diss, some of my favourite places are in books meant for younger readers, I just feel like reading something imaginative and whimsical intended for older readers.
Favourite places I've already visited: Zamonia, the Becky Chambers universe, Moominvalley, Discworld, Abarat.

Howls Moving Castle is very charming and whimsical, Piranesi is very mystical but has such a unique yet atmospheric feel to it; Stardust, Tress of the Emerald Sea and House in the Cerulean Sea are others I see recommended as whimsical often but those 3 I have not read myself, might be worth looking into though!
