re: Best currency to take

I've just ordered £40 from a local exchange bureau, just for the trip from the airport and first day ski bus, and I'm getting 2.27 lev to £1.

Bit of a difference between that and a resort rate of up to 2.42 but on £40, it's not worth thinking about.

Roll on Saturday!

Adrian, perfectly safe to exchange Sterling in the banks here, and the rate will be far better than the UK...

Hi Steve C,

Is there a bank to exchange currency close to the gondola (only landmark I know for sure)? I plan on exchanging the majority of our cash out in Bansko.

Thanks,
Grey
