Bansko Exchange Rates

For anyone wishing to obtain a decent LEVA/GBP exchange rate I would recommend the United Bulgaria Bank or Alpha Bank in Bansko.

UBB http://www.ubb.bg/Map.aspx?p=list&t=office&city=88 we got 2.61 leva to the pound

In Alpha Bank we got 2.58 http://www.alphabank.bg/print.aspx?page=blagoevgrad#3

Very good English and manners from all the staff in the two Banks - and it is nice to walk into the old town.

Simply take the street on the right of the Lion Bar and walk down. You will find United Bulgaria Bank on your right (as you head down). Continue down the same street (Pirin Street) and you will come to the Bansko square (beautiful in the sunshine) turn left at the council offices and Alpha Bank is on the left.

If you are visitng Bansko - please visit the old town, as it remains truly beautiful. It is as nice as we remember 4 years ago, if only the ski centre could have remained the same way and new Bansko had taken some of the charm and service of the very majestic old town.

Hi

Just out of interest ... what are the opening times of those banks in Bansko?

Having to get up on the mountain for 10 and not coming back down until around 4pm ish I can see this being restrictive ...

re: Bansko Exchange Rates

I presume it is since the forum changed - seems to have caused a few probs. If you want you could do it in Word or whatever - send it to me and I'll post it up for you if that helps (otherwise sneak it in that typing when at work - lol)

Cheers
