re: How much shud one bring

You can go for less than £100 eat in the hotel at breafast and dinner, a small snack during the day and have a drink after skiing or spend £1000, have a snack in the hotel instead of dinner, a skin full or beer and then a meal late on when you get the munchies.

Take UK money (or euros) with you and change if needed, its better to have to much rather than run out. You can then put it back into the bank when you come home.

Hi Michelle

We spent around £350 - £400 in Boro last year between 2 of us - we had breakfast at the hotel each day, and dinner 5 nights out of 7. Ate out the other 2 nights, had a snack-type lunch (toasted sandwich, chips, drink, etc) and a few drinks every night (not a skinful - just a few to round the day off).

We took some levs with us, then used the cash machines. For what it costs to take money out, I'd rather do this than have a weeks worth of spending money floating around in ...

Hi Michelle

We were out in Boro 3 weeks ago, we ate breakfast at the hotel and had dinner there 6 times. We eat out one night and had kebabs etc on other nights. We had lunch out everyday and had a barrel full of beer at least every night. We spent approx £150 per person and had a great night every night.

Most bars have happy hours regular with buy one get one free. Take sterling if poss and change in the resort at the change booths as you need it we never had any problems there ...

re: How much shud one bring

take ur euros with u . u will get a better rate out there but go to the actual bank in the resort. u get about 10% more for your money than the exchange booths

hi michelle

don't order from the bank, exchange in dublin airport always has plenty levs and the rate is the same, take your euros with you and change in a bank out there (take crisp notes only)..
compared to home you'll feel like you couldn't give away the money as it's soooo cheap..

re: How much shud one bring

Hi Michelle - what about local travel agents, do they have lev in stock? Forgive me, not sure how easy it is to get hold of them in Ireland. I know I've been to travel agents in England and they hold them in stock. I'd only change about 50 - 100 Euro to see you over your first couple of days, as the exchange rate you'll get in Bulgaria will be far better than you'll get at home.
