In Norse religion, Asgard (Old Norse: Ásgarðr; "Enclosure of the Æsir"[1]) is one of the Nine Worlds and home to the Æsir tribe of gods. It is surrounded by an incomplete wall attributed to a Hrimthurs riding the stallion Svaðilfari, according to Gylfaginning. Odin and his wife, Frigg, are the rulers of Asgard.
Poetic Edda
Völuspá, the first poem of the work, mentions many of the features and characters of Asgard portrayed by Snorri, such as Yggdrasil and Iðavöllr. Asgard is composed of 12 realms including Valhalla, Thrudheim, Breidablik that are ruled by Odin, Thor and Balder respectively

So it's like earth, heaven, hell, etc.
Where is heaven?
Where is hell?
Asgard is where the Aesir dwell.
Humans dwell in Midgard.
Valhalla is where honored dead warriors go.
Hel is where most of the dead go.
How is that hard to conceive of?
