Hi Paul,

It is 2.41 in Samokov today - went down to 2.38 last week but hopefully on it's way up again - this time last year was 2.27 so it's looking better regardless...

re: Exchange rates

Hi all,

I've been looking at a few places over here in England and the best conversion I can see is the post office at £1 = 2.28lev. What's the prices like out there compared to buying lev at home?

re: Exchange rates

I wouldnt ever buy lev at home as it is always a better rate in bulgaria, just make sure to use the banks as they won't rip you off.

re: Exchange rates

In bansko obb bank, you get 2.38 today, but all the banks are pretty close to that. Even the ones at terminal 1 airport, The old terminal that is. I do not know the knew one, but surely the Banks are the same everywhere. There are Banks, in departure (obb) and arrivals , Blugaria side of ustoms.
