Wish You Were Here: Falling in love with Vienna, castle-spotting in Ireland
Briefly

The article features two travel experiences shared by local residents who recently visited Vienna and Ireland. Elizabeth Seman highlights her enchanting experience in Vienna, emphasizing its romantic backdrop, stunning architecture, and rich cultural history, recommending key sites like Schoenbrunn Palace and St Stephen's Cathedral. Meanwhile, Harry Harrison recounts a joyful family trip to Ireland, rich in history and adventure, suggesting intriguing destinations such as Galway, the Cliffs of Moher, and lively Dublin. Both trips underscore the importance of engaging with locals and embracing the cultural atmosphere.
Elizabeth had her heart stolen by Vienna, Austria. A train ride away, the romance of Vienna awaits, she said. Can't you imagine Freud at the cafes and Sisi (Empress Elisabeth of Austria) dancing in the Habsburg jewels or sharing apfelstrudel at the Albertina? It's immense and ravishing.
Travel light, have extra local currency on the go, plan an extra day in most cities, engage with the locals: sample local delicacies, learn a greeting in each language, greeting folks warmly as you enter each establishment.
In Ireland, Harry said that the family group included sons Shea and Harbor with their long-time girlfriends, Gabby Wolak and Ashley Andersen, celebrating their 60th birthdays.
There are castles, cliffs, cathedrals and so much rich history. Dublin in town is full of music, food, pubs and excitement, dawn to dusk.
