Euro in Pamporovo

Hi, i'm heading to Pamporovo in a few days and just want to confirm that i can bring Euro there, the travel agent said fine, but i just want confirmation so im not stranded in Pamporovo with no money..

Thanks

re: Euro in Pamporovo

Yes you can bring it there but euro is not the currency, Lev is the currency but there is a number of places to change your currency, such as your hotel, although it may be worth checking out the exhcange rates for wherever your flying from first.

re: Euro in Pamporovo

I know Lev is the currency, however i was told that Euro is accepted in most of the places in Pamporovo? Will it be ok to use Euro all the time or will i have to Exchange to Lev?

re: Euro in Pamporovo

you will be better changing it to levs but do it out there you will get a better rate. but only use hotels/banks r exchange booths not street dealers.

if u r going to pamps there is a bar called Peters Irish Bar on the mountain half way down on the right normally excellent exchange rates

re: Euro in Pamporovo

Great, thanks for the info...been a great help...

re: Euro in Pamporovo

every expensive place will take it ? they will take pounds ?????

re: Euro in Pamporovo

Change it every time. Very few shops or pubs will know the current exchange rate and some will just flatly refuse to take anything other than Levs.

re: Euro in Pamporovo

do as PP says....the good news is the Euro has a pretty much flat exchange rate as the Lev is pegged to the Euro at approx 1.95 leva/euro----use this rate as a benchmark.....meanwhile the pound fluctuates widely

re: Euro in Pamporovo

Just take sterling and change it directly - even better to avoid getting ripped off just take a UK ATM card and directly access your UK account. You'll get a slightly worse rate but there are plenty of dodgy exchange bureaus in BG that can trip the unwary. Also you won't have to change sterling to euro to leva and incur two sets of currency exchange costs.
