Currency

Arrive in Borovets next sat - been told to take US dollars cash - where's the best place to exchange money out there - hotels/Exchange places - anyone know the rates and commission charged - are you fine with UK cash?

Cheers guys

From what I understand and have read on here you are best with UK cash, and that is very much acceptable in Bulgaria - so why change your currency twice???

It is currently aroun 2.8BGN to 1GBP - but in resort there appears to be a 'range' of exchange rates on offer. Cash machine's also seem to accept the UK switch cards with the maestro logo

Hope this helps

Ive found that stirling is the easiest to take, both hotels I have stayed in have had exchange facilities and did not charge for exchanging it.
Have fun next week!

You will get a slightly better rate from instructors, bar staff etc, but don't ever change with a stranger on the street, as they WILL rip you off.

I got 2.5 from hotel
2.6 from the bank
2.7 from a trusted bar staff
2.8 from my switch card (IF) - hole in the wall opposite white heart.
