    I love the area south of Lake Ilinalta and the southern edges of Falkreath.  I also love the Sea of Ghosts area, especially the northern coast of Haafingar.  And any of the snowy forests are lovely.

    For me it's the mountainious a bit south of the road between Markarth and Rorikstead. I also like the area surrounding Dragon Bridge.

    Nice question! I too like open spaces most, like around Whiterun, Eastmarch, ant the area between Falkreath and Solitude. I love mountains too, but I prefer them a bit farer away than in front of my nose.

    Riften. It reminds me so much about the Scottish Loch's, although it also seems to be based around Wales, particularly Mount Snowdon.

    Anywhere Falkreath is where I like to go. Even though I am around level 50, I like to get some old fur armor and a hunting bow and just, well, hunt. I usually do it when I am having trouble with a quest, and I need to blow off some steam.

    The areas around Whiterun and Falkreath to be sure (when it comes to outdoor areas), but I'm a sucker for exploring every single dungeon.  I'm still finding dungeons I've never been through before-it really is amazing how much content they put into vanilla Skyrim.  Though with that said, I have to mix the dungeons up.  I can't mentally deal with doing 2 or 3 Dwemer ruins in a row.  Those falmer just creep me out.  Plus the variety is the spice of (virtual) life!
