Exchanging Money

Hi Just wondered if it would be better to echange our money at the airport or exchange it in Borovets.. I know there are some exchange places in Borovets and offering a better rate than the airport or our banks.. just wondered if anyone knows the commission charges??? Anyone ???

I always find the banks in the Rila or Flora hotels give a good exchange rate. Have also used the cash machines, in the same and never had a problem.

Cashed money in Samokov Town last Friday and got 2.57.

Just avoid the kiosks.

re: Exchanging Money

are the kiosks a rip off ???

Any Kiosks supporting the Crown Symbol are fine as they are run by the state banks.

Although some others are OK I would avoid them just in case.

so pete and boro girl..( ps i support Boro.. the Premier team) lol... it would be better to get it from the airport ??

re: Exchanging Money

And I support Cardiff City (sorry we made you look so bad)

No - you'll probably get a better rate in Boro and there are lots of Crown booths there.

If you don't need lev at airport, then wait to you get to Boro. As you are staying in the Rila, I suggest you use the bank in the hotel, down by the internal shops, next to Borosport office. It's usually 24 hours apart from lunch breaks.
