Hidden Europe

7. Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina: Part of the thrill of traveling in Europe is sorting out its complicated cultural mix. And nowhere is Europe's ethnic make-up more complex than in Bosnia.

It's a fascinating place to learn about the last generation's war...and about how a new generation is knitting the city back together.
