money honey

first time to bulgaria skiing whats the best plan with the money trav cheques sterling or bulgarian

re: money honey

From what i have been told take some Levs and the rest in cash but dont quote me on that

re: money honey

correct............good sterling notes wiuth no rips or writing on them.......

as good a rate, often better out there. you will only need a few lev to get you going. in fact last year i arrived with no lev and changed some sterling at hoel reception straight away

re: money honey

Did you use Bulgaria and skiing in the same sentence? Were going on Sunday so hope your right

re: money honey

credit card and atm card wit cirrus. Dont bring large quantities of csh

re: money honey

I agree about not bringing large amounts of cash, but a mate of mine stayed at the rila and said! the cash machines didnt work.

re: money honey

in pamporovo you can use your credit card with your passport at the alaska supermarket.

the reliability of the cash machines is an annual thing, if they break or are emptied not always fixed immediatley

i kept cash in my case in the room with a small padlock on the case.

However , this is my 4th time going to bulgaria, and have never heardof any first hand experiences of money going missing

re: money honey

TAKE LEV..and beer cost 3-5Lev, exchange rate is about 2.5 - 2.85 £-Lev. They can exchange it out there and most accept sterling as well.
In addition there are cash points, but you are best off takeing about £200 - 250 if you enjoy drinking and eating well!!

Also spare a thought for all the new friends you will make selling you bells at the ski depot..they probably will accept anything!!
