 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi guys,
Going to Bulgaria in February. I know currency there is lev, but see lots of places and websites advertising in euros. Do places accept euros?
So should I take only lev, or should I take a few euros too just in case?
Cheers!

We've always taken lev. If you change money in resort use only a bank or the booths with the Crown logo. Others can be dodgy.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Lev 100%
I use Revolut card so just take money out from ATM.
One of the reps might be able to change money for you on the "black market"

Last year I took lev with me. I was able to get extra lev from ATM using a Euro bank card at a sensible conversion rate.

last time I was there (long ago) they preferred 'hard' cash i.e. £/$/Euro

I would usually take pounds (habitually, unmarked ten pound notes - a throwback from the 'hard cash' days) and change at the bank or proper booth & get any extra levs I might need from the cash point. Wouldn't bother with euros.

I took levs, then just used the ATM to get more when needed,didn't get a terrible rate and was all fine, would stay away from the booths, just looks a bit off to me

use lev, more places are taking cards now but its a bit hit and miss. Don't get your levs here in the uk the rate is poor, also don't change them at the airport another poor rate. The 'Crown' booths are 100% ok and they're open till late at night, there are a number of them in the resort.
Atms in the Hotel Rila, Ella, by the gondola, and half way up the main drag. Ive always found the rates to be good often better than the change booths, but remember the card fees.

I only used lev's there in Jan, all with Halifax Clarity card from ATM. Best rates/option if you can get one.
