A flight of imagination can take us anywhere, whether real or fabled. These are mythical places and they are used figuratively in English. No need to buy a ticket. No need to pack. All aboard, fasten your seatbelts! Source and ideahttp://wordsmith.org/words/

Camelot

An idealized time or place, one regarded as enlightened, beautiful, and peaceful. After Camelot, the site of King Arthur's court in Arthurian legend.

Camelot auf Wikipedia

Never-Never-Land

An idealized imaginary place where everything is perfect. From Never Never Land in J.M. Barrie's play Peter Pan (1904).

Ivory Tower

 A place or state of privileged seclusion, disconnected with practical matters and harsh realities of life. The term was first used in the figurative sense in 1837 by literary critic Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve (1804-1869).]
