re: Euro or Lev

Why would you take Euro?

The lev is fixed against the Euro and offers an extremely low exchange rate.

Take sterling along with a few levs to get you going, but make sure the notes are not torn or written on.

re: Euro or Lev

The only thing I would say is if you are republic of Ireland (and therefore have Euro as currency) take Euro's as sterling exchange rate is currently cr*p as pound is slipping dramatically at the moment against the Euro (and therefore the Lev due to it being fixed to the Euro rate)
