They say truth is stranger than fiction--but sometimes truth inspires fiction, as is the case with these 10 venues that actually exist (or, in the case of the Sands Point, N.Y., mansion that inspired F.

Lewis's magical land of Narnia. However, with any of these famed places, we're sure that the most surprising thing about them would be... their price tags.
