Where Should I go: Odense or Mostar?
Odense
Odense is the largest city on the island of Funen in Denmark. With a population of over 180,000, it is the third largest city in Denmark as a whole and sometimes is known as the unofficial capital. This city is the birthplace of the famous fairytale writer, Hans Christian Andersen.
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.
