Five Most Unique Cities in Europe | Sarajevo

EuroTrip about Sarajevo (http://www.eurotrip.com/content/five-most-unique-cities-europe)















Sarajevo endured more strife over the last 25 years than almost any European city, and with the first rail link opening up between it and Serbia — albeit very long and infrequent — we are witnessing a slow repair of once strained relations. Despite all of this, Sarajevo is a dynamic and vibrant city where cultures and religions bind it together as a source of strength and unity. Distinct districts remain true to their identity without imposing or threatening each other. The people of Sarajevo turned a tragedy into a rebirth and refused to let it consume their lives. The cafés with bullet speckled walls reopened along the boulevards and craters carved out of concrete by bombs were not removed, but filled with red paint. They have moved on but will not allow themselves to forget.
