Bansko... English money or Levs

Off to Bansko for a week on Sunday. Was wondering if its better to take english money, then to exchange it there, or to take Levs straight away.. my parents live near Bulgaria and when i go there its better value to take English money over then to change it into Levs. Cheers... Very Happy

Think you've answered your own question Louise.
Take about £50 worth to get you started then change the rest over there.
