Bulgaria Shopping

don't buy at the first price you see

by ellie-uk

any stalls or shops in the resorts in bulgaria tend to sell things for much dearer than in the main towns like varna, so when you go plan a trip to your nearest town at the start so you can see what the prices there are like compared to your resort, then plan another trip back near the end of your holiday to buy all your souviners and prezzies

Bulgarian currency - lev

by denise_BG

On the picture - 20 levs. 100 stotinki = 1 lev. 2 BGL = 1 USDTo have an idea about the prices - with 20 levs you can purchase approximately 6 kids menus in McDonalds or 3 movie tickets for a movie premiere. Some typical prices:- cup of coffee (espresso) 0.30 -1.50 leva, depending on location - cigarettes BG - 1.20 leva - local beer 1.00 leva - Big Mac 2.69 leva - Burger BG 1.50 leva - loaf of bread 0.60 leva - litre of unleaded fuel 1.50 leva

Head into the interior. If you're seeking unique local wear then you'll be let down. The designs happen to be close to any other European country. Your choice. Varies

One interestine note, a Playboy Magazine in Bulgarian cost 4.95 leva or approximatly $3.20 USD.I recommend buying a magazine or a newspaper from Bulgaria as a sourveir or a momento of your trip.
