Although Bulgaria's currency is part of the European Union, doesn't Bulgaria, a member of the European Union, use the euro?

Although Bulgarian gold is a part of the European Union, and rumors about introducing the euro have been widely circulated for a long time, Bulgaria still uses its own loan currency, the Bulgarian Lev (BGN for short). Compared with western European countries or the United States, Bulgaria is a big country and will provide you with a lot of use value by changing your money into local currency, which is why our Balkan country is increasingly warmly welcomed by long-term backpackers.

Compared with other EU countries, Bulgaria is a big country with very economical hotels, restaurants, restaurants and electrical products. The prices of hotels and restaurants in Bulgaria are obviously less than half of the EU average. After joining the European Union, the price of real estate in Bulgaria has gradually decreased from the upper level-which means that decent housing can be bought all over the country (some exclusive suburbs of Sofia), and the price is far lower than that of similar real estate in Britain. The average rent in Bulgaria is 74.06% lower than that in Britain. The cost of living in Bulgaria is 48. 12% lower than that in Britain. The cost of ethanol and non-alcoholic beverages is about 65% lower than that of the EU, and the cost of clothing is 75% lower than the EU average. Naturally, the low consumption level has a great impact.

The Bulgarian Lev was first introduced in 1880, and soon after, Bulgaria gained independence from the Ottoman Empire. This new country needs a loan currency that can show its recent status. It is called "Leo" at that time, and Leo is also an important representative of the Bulgarian liberation movement.

The most difficult stage in recent years was 1997. At that time, large-scale inflation prompted the introduction of the currency board, that is, the lev was "fixed" on the German Kyle, and the interest rate was 1000 lev = 1 Kyle. Lev recharged at 1999, and the rate became 1lev= 1 Kyle, Germany. When Europe introduced Germany, the exchange rate was set at 1 Levi = 1.95583 euros, which has been maintained until now.

Lev in Bulgaria Today, Lev is a relatively stable lending currency, with a use value of about 60p. It is used in all businesses in Bulgaria. In supermarkets, shops, history museums and other places, it will be difficult for you to pay in euros or dollars. The only exception is the gas station in expressway (which provides catering services for foreigners in the host country) and some border areas on the way to Europe or Turkey, but you should try not to pin your hopes on it, because it is not a common practice.

Lev's music scores are 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100BGN. This kind of note describes famous Bulgarians, such as PaisiyHilendarski in two lev notes, the first recorded creator of human history in Bulgaria and his writers PenchoSlaveykov and AlekoKonstantinov. All the notes are tactile to the visually impaired. Since 20 15 issued 2-denomination coins, the number of 2-denomination banknotes has been decreasing.

What can Bulgarian Lev bring you? Generally, if you drink 2 cups of left-handed people in the morning, you can drink a cup of coffee or a few packets of bubble gum. The cost of a city bus ticket is between 1-2 lev, which actually depends on the metropolis you want to go to.

In restaurants that are not in the core of the city, a river will bring you a large glass of beer (0.5 liter) or a portion of French fries and a small glass of beer. Many museums in Bulgaria need 5BGN to visit and inspect.

Choose a medium-sized domestic restaurant, and you can get a salad, a main meal and a carbonated drink of 10 lev from the lunch menu. At dinner time, in a restaurant in downtown Sofia, a ten-livre bill will bring you an exquisite salad.

20BGN brings you a one-way second-class train ticket from Sofia to the seaside city of burgas. You can upgrade to business class without paying an extra tax of 5 pounds. This is also the average cost of a hotel standard double room in a small town in Bulgaria.

100BGN is considerable in Bulgaria, especially considering that the average monthly salary in the country is slightly higher than 1000 BGN. For example, you can book a tour guide from Sofia to Lira Monastery, and you will indulge yourself in a room in a star-rated hotel. Whether going out for lunch, going to a contemporary cafe for coffee or going to the cinema, the cost is far lower than that of many European countries. Just like going to Starbucks, KFC, McDonald's and other international freshly ground coffee and chain fast food restaurants, the cost of living in Bulgaria is nearly 50% lower than that in the United States, Britain and other countries.
