Ive been looking round at a few websites and they all seem to say that i should be taking sterling when i go to bulgaria. why is this?? i would normally change my cash into the local currency, is this a no no in bulgaria?

You will get a much better exchange rate if you change money in Bulgaria. Go to one of the banks. Just take enough Lev to get you to the resort.

Dito .... I got massively more changing it there and if you use the same place more than once they tend to waive the comission!

I took lavs which i changed in the uk for 2.65 to the pound. when i got to pamps the alaska supermaket had 2.85 with no comission. You are talk about only a few quid difference.
But have some lavs ready for your first day at least.

Hi Kev

When are you going to bulgaria? Are you going alone? If so, a group of us are going if you fancy hooking up?

. we found tipping a bit of a strain and found we spend more than we thought we would. if you tip at the table and then at the bar your money goes fast. one of the group we were with paid on there room in the hotel this made it cheaper. tipping is expected
