Hi Wendy..
Whatever the rate is you will get a better exchange here in the banks, Alpha Bank just off the square is about the best. Bring sterling, take your passport.. and bingo, you will get at least 10% better exchange over the UK.
Euro weakening at the moment, so £ - lv rate improving.
Ski road still complete though a bit of a path at the bottom. Very warm at the moment so get up the mountain early to enjoy empty pistes and fine conditions. Lunchtime head for a bar and get a suntan. ...

Light snow forecast for Sunday and Monday, but don't bank on it...

Thankyou for that info. When we came in Jan the rate was better in Bansko than the UK. Will bring the cash!! The conditions sound great. Can't wait.....Hopefully everthing will still be open. Last year came at Easter and Happy End had shut + Friendly Bar..Still had a great time tho. Thankyou......

Hi Shane..
09.30am till 04.30pm mon to fri.. It has also been open on Saturdays 09.30 to 12.30pm, but this is unlikely to continue as season slows down...
