Bosnia is the European trip that surprises people most. Halal food is simply how the country eats, the mosques are Ottoman and central rather than hidden, and the history — siege, rebuilding, and four centuries before that — is told by people who lived it. Six days, one of the best-value trips we run, and the one we recommend to anyone who thinks Muslim Europe starts and ends with Spain.

Halal food & prayer

Halal is the norm rather than the exception in Bosnia — ćevapi, burek and slow-cooked dishes without a caveat. Every included meal is halal and every property we use is alcohol-free.

Sarajevo, Mostar, Travnik and Jajce all have mosques at the centre of town, and the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque is on the itinerary itself. Prayer times are on the daily schedule.
