Whether you’re exploring Sofia's beautiful architecture or catching rays on the famous Sunny Beach, you’ll need local currency to prepare for your Bulgarian adventure.
Asda Travel Money makes it easier than ever to buy Bulgarian lev. Pop in-store to grab your holiday money or visit us online to have your cash delivered straight to your door.
It's a good idea to buy your Bulgarian lev before jetting off on your trip. That way, you'll avoid international exchange rates and ATM transaction fees.
Some machines give the option to complete the transaction in your home currency rather than Bulgarian Lev. This may sound like a good idea, but it's best to stick with the local currency to avoid any hidden fees.
Also, if you're planning to pay for hotels using cash, it's worth noting that most Bulgarian ATMs limit you to withdrawing 200 lev per day (less than £100).

Most waiting staff in Bulgaria are paid the minimum wage, so the money they get from tips is a big part of their overall income.
Despite talks of Bulgaria adopting the Euro in 2022 after joining the EU in 2007, Bulgaria still uses Bulgarian Lev as its national currency.
It’s a good idea to have a basic understanding of the local currency to avoid fumbling for the right change when you touch down in Bulgaria.
