Where Should I go: Mostar or Glencoe?

Mostar

Mostar has historically been a culturally and ethnically diverse city. It was heavily bombed during the country's civil war and many of the city's most important buildings and structures were destroyed. Most significantly, the city's Old Bridge, Stari Most, was destoryed. The bridge was rebuilt through an international effort just eleven years after the war. It was completed in 2004 and included pieces of the original bridge. Today, much of the city has been rebuilt and the city is a beautiful and impressive travel destination. The old town still has much of its original charm and it is a great place to explore.

Glencoe

Glencoe is a picturesque valley in the western highlands of Scotland that has grown to fame due to its incredible natural beauty. The valley has been the setting for many films over the years, including Monty Python and Harry Potter, because of its fantastic scenery that you can explore yourself on a trip through the valley. Whether or not you're a movie buff, everyone can enjoy the landscapes carved out by ancient volcanoes and the activities that go along with it! During the winter, from November to March, the valley is usually covered in snow and tends to stay in the 30's Fahrenheit. Summer, from June to September, is great for hiking the valley and exploring as temperatures are in the 60's Fahrenheit.
