exchange rate

just wondering what exchange rates people are actually getting in resorts? just checked on google and its saying £1 = 2.34lev

does that sound about right??? I don't remember getting that much in previous years... Although my memory isn't the best whilst in bulgaria due to the cheap Booze Booze Booze

cheers

re: exchange rate

check out £ - Euro rates, Lev fixed to Euro at 1.995 Lv-E.
£ rates have been the best recently for months, most likely due to Euro's weakness, and not £'s strength....

re: exchange rate

just checked with M&S exchange rates who are usually good for currency and there offering 2.17 levi for your pounds...

if your changing £500 for a weeks spending money that's over £40 your losing just by changing it here...

well worth waiting till you get there!

re: exchange rate

Just stumble on this post, so the general recommendation is to change in Bulgaria and not in UK?
