hi gv .. i think the bulgarians get a cheap deal .. they buy a half day ticket starting at 12.30... dont know how much but it will not be much as they now have to pay same price as us for a full day... up to joining eu there was two prices and the locals paid about a quarter what we paid ... so if you like the night life and not an early starter this my be for you ....
thanks for that mate but i will be needing full days. I only get my fix once a year so the nightlife takes a back seat i am afraid. The pass is 96 through the operator here but someone said it would be cheaper again in resort. Also the money exchange is meant to be better over there aswell is this true. Cheers
The eschange rate yesterday in Samokov was 2.14 on Monday it was 2.04 !!! Lift passes are 55 Lev per day during the week and 35 Lev per day at weekends. 55 Lev per day at today's exchange rate us approx. £25.70 x 6 days = £154.20. There are no longer "two" prices. The same price applies to whoever the tourist is. I think the only people to get cheap passes are the people who work in Borovets. Guess your tour operator is cheaper, and that is because they buy up lift passes at the beginning ...
