Exchange Rate

Just looking at credit card bill from last month in Borovets

In fact, to be fair, I've never returned from a holiday with so little damage done to it

For those that are about to go, 100 levs out of the cash point at the gondola station on 17th Jan (so long ago now!) cost £36.44 giving an exchange rate of 2.744 which I don't think is bad at all. I think you can only get 200 levs per transaction or perhaps per day.

re: Exchange Rate

ATMs definately have the best rate for all currency!! the limit is 200 levs for transaction because with multiple ones i could get 500 levs in 2 minutes!!!

re: Exchange Rate

Just got back.

Hotels approx 2.5 Levs / £
Banks 2.6
Others (NOT RECOMMENDED UNLESS YOU ARE SURE) 2.7

My Switch card at ATM machine 2.79 LEV/ £

re: Exchange Rate

Never been before, but we're going in 2 weeks!!!

How much do things cost out there?

How much is beer? food?

Ski-boots?

Thanks

Daniel

re: Exchange Rate

Local Beer: 3levs
Imports: 4-6levs

Food is really cheap!! for example, a pizza, a fried cheese with chips, a salad, a chicken kebab, smoked patatoes, 2 cokes, 4 beers somethýng like 35 levs!!!

best Nordica ski boots were 300levs!

re: Exchange Rate
