Well, hundreds. Thousands even. There are entire subgenres which use mostly real places: Modern Fantasy (aka Urban Fantasy), Vampires (although that's really a subgroup of Modern Fantasy I guess, it seems popular enough to merit it's own category), and Historical Fantasy.
Some examples
The Dresden Files: Chicago
Mercedes Lackey's modern fantasies: California
Tim Powers based most (maybe all) of his works in the real world.
John M. Ford's Dragon in Waiting is set in England

Ted Dekker's Black, Red and White.
Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles (although the Mars atmosphere isn't consistent with what we know it is).
Shatner's Tekken series.
Arthur C. Clark's future series (2001, etc)
that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

There's a new medieval fantasy series in hardcover that you might like. It takes place in a semi-historical medieval Britain and Scotland. The title of the first episode is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you're a fan of Conan, LOTR or Wheel books, this is one you'll enjoy. A Hollywood producer said it was, "Like Braveheart meets Lord of the Rings." (See other comments & reviews below.)
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!
Major Media Reviews:
Publishers Weekly said in a rare STARRED Review:
"A fast pace, sly humor, amusing dialogue and a richly researched background lift Baxley's fantasy, the first of a new series set in medieval Britain. When Merlin's long-ago apprentice Kruzurk Makshare (aka the Boozer) receives a dreamlike visitation from the legendary mage, he learns he must destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. To do so will require a visit to the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. Enter young Daynin McKinnon, who discovers a curious rune-covered headstone, which may be the fabled Blackgloom Bounty, and brings it to Kruz's attention. Kruz believes it will provide entry into the fortress, while Daynin hopes the sale of the stone will restore his family's fortunes. The colorful cast of good guys and ne'er-do-wells includes the Pictish ghost of Brude McAlpin liberated from his tomb, assorted pursuing Caledonians and a bemused Prior Bede, whose monastery serves as a hiding place for the Blackgloom Bounty. Suitable for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages."
