Is it best to change me money here or wait until we get to resort. Haven't been since 2006 how much has changed. We're off to pamps
re:Change money
I would say always in BG. So in resort or even better in a non resort town nearby. Rates have always been better in my experience. We go to borovets though so maybe a Pamps regular can confirm if it's the same there.re:Change money
I agree always in bg, or ust use your debit card in an atm
re:Change money
Definitely change in a bank, sterling (£20.00 are well liked, clean with no tears)Generally you can expect up to 10% better exchange here in BG than back in the UK.
ATM's are ok for small amounts, but commissions charges by the card issuer and the ATM can make it expensive...

Boris & Igor used to give cracking exchange rate, always outside Rila Hotel easy to recognise built like Brick Sh-t Houses, leather jackets and

and more

Thanks. I remembered about clean notes. Where is the bank in pamps? What's the prices like now? As I say I last went in 2006.
re: Change money
S.P. would not know about changing money as he only takes £50 for a week, and that is in old fivers!!!
re: Change money
Unfortunately there is no bank in Pamporovo anymore.
There are ATM's located at the Danmar and Hotel Orlovetz and a money changing booth in the main street. If you're going on a package and flying into Sofia on Sat Sun the banks won't be open for you.
Nearest Banks are in either Chepalare or Smolyan, problem is to take a trip to a bank is going to take time out of your skiing.
I was in Pamps for most of last season and the Currency Kiosk were offering rates far better than any of ...

I was in Pamps for most of last season and the Currency Kiosk were offering rates far better than any of the Uk banks. normally about 10%' ish' better.
Hope this helps.
