Where Should I go: Wurzburg or Mostar?

Wurzburg

Wurzburg is in Franconia, in northern Bavaria. The city dates back to the 10th century when it served as the home for many important prince-bishops. It is famous as the location of the Residence, which is considered one of the finest palaces in Europe. The city also has one of the oldest churches in Germany that was originally built in the 8th century. The fortress of Festung Marienberg surrounds the church. The city was heavily destroyed during bombings in 1945. About 80% of the city's buildings were destroyed, but it has been completely rebuilt today. Still, much of the original architecture has been lost.

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.
