10 Muslim Friendly Cities in Europe » Nabawi Mulia

Vacationing in Europe is no longer difficult for Muslims, especially with the increasing number of cities that provide facilities to support Muslim needs, such as halal restaurants and mosques. These cities can be an attractive choice for Muslims who want to explore the beauty of Europe without abandoning Islamic values.

According to reports from Pew Research CenterIn 2050, it is estimated that the Muslim population in Europe will reach around 11.2 percent of the total population on the Blue Continent. Between 2010 and 2016 alone, the number of Muslims in Europe increased significantly, from 3.8 percent to 4.9 percent.

One of the main causes of this growth is the high rate of Muslim immigration to Europe, both to work, study and live. In the six years between mid-2010 and 2016, around 2.5 million Muslims entered Europe.
