There should NEVER EVER be a charge for entering a mosque. Even 50cents is too much. Any payment can and should be optional. Also, its not a mosque if muslims can't pray in it. Its just a museum, so don't call it a mosque.

Saturday 11th June we were on a full day tour of the City of Mostar.
During our free time we were walking along the shiney well worn stoney narrow street of Mala Tepa. It was along here that we saw a noticeboard advertising this Mosque.
We walked through the archway entrance which let us into a paved courtyard. At it's centre was a hexagonal shaped stone building with six arched entrances. Inside there was a large circular stone well, with six taps around it, with a stone seat in front of each tap. Worshippers wash their hands before entering the Mosque.
Around the courtyard there a number stalls/shops selling souvenirs and other goods.
We were a bit surprised to see there was an entrance fee, Mosque and view of the Bridge was €4 per person. To visit the Mosque and it's minaret was €7.
There was no indication on the sign outside the entrance that there was an admission charge. So we decided to leave.

The most well known mosque in Mostar. It offers fantastic views of the Stari Most bridge from the minaret. Dating to 1618, this mosque was founded by Mehmed Koskija, the biographer of the Grand Vizier Lala Mehmud Sokovic. The beautiful interior of the mosque has painted wall murals and a lush carpet that was a gift from Austrian monarch Franz Joseph. With an entrance fee of 3 Euros, it is worth a look and climb to the top of the minaret!

the entrance fee is pretty pricey, 7 euros or 14 BAM (May 2022). however, the minaret is the gem here as it provides you a birds eye view of Stari Most.
be prepared to climb 89 steps of spiral stairs to the top. best down first thing in the morning when the crowd of visitors is still thin

It's a small pretty mosque in Mostar. The interior is very simple.
We went up the minar to see the views from the top and they were stupendous. Wasn't very happy about the narrow stairs but the views were woth it

This was the first mosque I’ve ever seen in my life. Unfortunately, it’s no longer a place of worship, but it gives us a good idea about a mosque. The stairs are a bit claustrophobic but the view from the minaret really pays us back!

You get a decent view of the Old Bridge from their backyard but that’s about it. The mosque itself is extreme disappointing. Not worth the price of admission.

we wanted to visit. this historic mosque that was restored to its original state after the croatian army destroyed large parts of this mosque during the genocide of the slavic muslim population and their heritage.
to my awe I saw that I had to pay 6 euros per person to enter the mosque. I have never seen before that I had to pay to enter a house of god/allah. I hope someone will correct this wrong quickly.

When I went over to the mosque I was told I could climb the minaret which is definitely not normally allowed at mosques. Of course, I had to do it. The minaret is 113 feet tall, 4 1/2 feet wide and has 78 very narrow stone steps plus a wonderful view of the old Mostar bridge and the old town. The interior was pretty cool too.

Hello from the US! We plan to visit Mostar for a quick overnight stay in about 2 weeks! We are excited! Question, is there a dress code for both men and women required to enter into the Mosque? It is gonna be hot in the summer, we just needed to know so we can pack accordingly. :)

Hello. I will be in Mostar in 21-Aug, which will be Eid Al Adha. I would like to ask if Eid prayers will be performed. If not, in which mosque can we pray Eid prayers?

Yes, you can. But you need to follow the procedures from someone who is knowledgeable. Maybe, you should ask for a private tour guide if you don't know anything about Muslim culture. There is a lot of tour guides that can be at your service for hour or two and it should not be expensive either.

My name is Ali. I am a muslim from from the UK.
I would like to come to Bosnia for Eid and visit your mosque.
I would like to give Qurbani whilst visiting also IshaAllah. Would you be ale to help me with this?
I am coming with my Nephew, Waqas. We are both currently trying to plan our trip - we are looking for any help regarding places to stay as we wish to spend most of our time and resources in giving charity.
The dates we plan to come to Bosnia is 27th August to 13th September.
I hope to hear from you. We would appreciate any guidance on where to spend in the name of Allah and assistance in touring the country.
JazakhAllah Khair

Alejkum selam. My advice is to give Qurbani to Foster home or Soup kitchen, cause these categories need it the most. I dont know which city u r gonna visit inshAllah, but I know in Zenica for example u dont need any permission for Foster home, just take it to their kitchen. Also there is one association in mosque in Zenica, which take care about people who returned to their home, mostly villages, on east in Bosnia, in Republic Serbia. They r mostly old people who lost their families. U can find this association on fb called "Čajdžinica kod Dabra". They r also taking Qurbani to returnee . I hope I helped u. If u have any futher question u can contact me. Selam from BIH.
