Scattered across the globe are destinations that look a heck of a lot like Gondor-and the rest of Middle Earth, for that matter (plus, they're not all in New Zealand). When you travel to these spots, reality readily slips away, quickly replaced by the infinite possibilities of Tolkien's legendarium. But don't worry-if you ever find yourself feeling blue about the hobbitless reality you were born into, we've got a solution. If you could, public transit would be a lot more popular than it is.
Unfortunately, you can't just hop a bus and ride into Gondor.
