1 Bulgarian Lev = 0.34428 British Pound
1 British Pound (GBP) = 2.90461 Bulgarian Lev (BGN)
re: money exchange
thanks neil but where can i get this rate as would get 310 lev more as i changed £700re: money exchange
That's the bank rate - the only place you'll get that rate is if you draw the money out of the hole in the wall machine in Bulgaria - with no commission - the only card that does this is Nationwide.I got 2.74 to £1 in M&S yesterday and today they advertise 2.75 - they also had Lev in stock. That worked out at 10 lev = £3.63

re: money exchange
By my calculations that works out at approx 2.44 Levs to £1 which is pretty poor.
I suppose it's a bit late now but you could have got a much better rate in Bansko. Alternatively, M&S is the best place I've found in the UK for any foreign currency not just Levs. The exchange rate they are offering today is 2.751 Levs to £1. They have Bureaux de Change in some of their larger branches. You can find out which branches have them via the following link(http://www.fxcorporation.co ...

I'm heading off to Bansko myself on Christmas Eve &, to keep us going when we arrive, I changed £100 at M&S in Manchester a couple of weeks ago & got 2.78 Levs to £1.
I think the rates that Neil quoted are commercial exchange rates not tourist rates.
