Fantasy Cities are well suited to maps, with people interacting with maps for cities regularly in the real world. But making your own can take a long time, while generating one and then fitting your city to that can be a lot easier.
There are related City Guides for Fantasy City Generators and Fantasy City PDFs & Books.
