I'm surprised noone's mentioned Gondolin yet. If you've ever read Of Tuor and his coming to Gondolin you know how breath taking it is. The seven gates he passes through, and the heavy descripition on their beauitiful architecture- the ravines he passes through, and eventually his coming to the beautiful white city, which a greater description of the city itself would be better found in The Silmarillion.
