Hi Guys,

I've never had any problems finding cash machines on holiday before but am unsure about the infrastructure.

Has anyone been and if so do I need to draw out the cash before I go or will I be ok with my visa?
Thanks

Hi Maria,I take it you mean the visa debit card? There at at least two cash machines that accept international cards, one just along from the Rila Hotel by the nursery slopes and another on the main road opposite the turning for the gondola. Used both in Feb with English debit cards and worked fine!
re: Borovets advice
Thanks Paul.. Yes i meant visa debit, just becuse i'm really tight and hate paying the banks to use my own money!M

re: Borovets advice
mariasome of the hotels have atms too. one in the ela for sure.
i would still take some cash as a back-up though and change in the hotel if needed.

re: Borovets advice
Seems that lots of people are solving problems for Maria.Just start at the begining, it's a very good place to start ......
re: Borovets advice
Hi,btw - we've been to Boro about 6 or 7 times now, and yes there can be a problem with the cash machines, the problem is that the link between the UK and Borovets just stops working (darn computers), so other nations are fine and the English have no money
Most of the time they are fine, and plenty to use, but if you end up with this problem then try the bank under the Samakov hotel (you won't be able to miss it) it's saved our New year many times.
Enjoy!
