In this guide
This guide is about practical planning, not religious rulings. It helps you decide what to expect.
- Mosques in Belgrade and a larger community around Novi Pazar

- Few public prayer rooms, so plan prayer around your hotel or a mosque
- A prayer-time app set to the local time
1Know where the mosques are
Belgrade has a small number of mosques, including the historic Bajrakli Mosque in the old town. Novi Pazar and the Sandžak region have a much larger Muslim population. See the Novi Pazar guide.
2Plan your prayers
Public prayer rooms are rare. Use your hotel room, and set a prayer-time app to your location. Ask the hotel for a quiet corner if needed.
3Sort halal food
See halal food in Serbia.
