Hi,Can anyone advise what currency to take to Bulgaria, due to fly out on New Years Eve, a strange question i know but heard they are changing to Euro in the New Year & not sure wether to take the Lev or Euro !?!
re: Currency
Hi, Take Sterling. It must be clean, unmarked and no tears, only change in your Hotel or Banks. never on the street. ttonyre: Currency
yep thats right sterling, or if you shop arround you can get levs before you go so as to have a coupple of quid to spend as soon as you arrive ( hot,cold drinks/snaks, at the airport). the change over will take some time to come into full effect. so dont worry about it this season(or so im told).p+c
re: Currency
Don't worry about taking too much currency if you take your cashpoint card. The autoteller machines are plentiful out there and you can draw out what money you need in local currency. My bank (Nationwide)does not charge commission on foreign transactions so I get a really good rate but you'll get charged comission in a bank anyway so there's no difference. The instructions even come up in English! Have a good time!re: Currency
Gr8 thanks for the advise, sterling it is thenre: Currency
It will be many years before Bulgaria are even considered for adoption of the euro. Leva is still the Bulgarian currency. Generally you will get a MUCH better exchange rate in Bulgaria than in the UKDon't confuse joining the EU with the single currency
