Bulgarian Levs

Just went to order some levs for next weekend, only to be rung by the bank later on that they are no longer available (for the time being anyway).

I know we can change our sterling in the hotel but thought it would be nice to take a little with us. Has anyone else had the same problem recently because apparently you could get them before christmas???

Change them in the airport in BG

re: Bulgarian Levs

The Post Office told us they couldn't get any but Thomas Cook told us theres no problem getting Levs, they just need a couple of days notice.

Hi Sarah,
Dont worry too much if you cant get any lev here.
You can some at the airport,at your hotel, or most bars will take sterling.

Thanks everyone, I went to the Post Office first (no joy) then to Travelcare who told me it was fine and they just needed a few days notice, but then they had an e-mail later on today to say that they had been stopped now and sorry. Never mind, will get some at the airport I think!!

Thanks again

I have just picked some up today from eurochange - within Ilkeston CO-OP, and they said if I needed more they could get them in by Tuesday afternoon

Try this address if you are outside London

Shows you all the euroexchange locations. I got 2.59 to the Pound, had to pay a fee £2 because it is not one of the top sellers
