The description in the novels implies fairly strongly that Ciri visits medieval Europe at the time of the Black Death (either in our world or a close relative). In the plague city she sees “houses marked with white crosses,” which matches the practice at the time, and is a bit too specific not to be intended as a reference to that historical period. Two other of her world-hops are quite explicitly to points in our history (Inverness in the early 20th century and Pont-sur-Yvonne France in what seems to be the 19th), so we’re meant to understand that our Earth is one to which she’s drawn repeatedly.
