Q: I plan to spend my holiday in Barcelona and I want to purchase the Barcelona Card but I want to know where is it best to purchase it - online or in the city?

A: In most cases there is no significant difference between the two options. Online purchase have two main advantages – firstly, it means a 5% reduction from the price of the card. Secondly, if you book your card online in advance, you can get it at the airport and you can activate it immediately, so you will not need to pay for the train from the airport to the city (for additional information – How Does Barcelona Card Work? and Barcelona Card and Public Transportation). Except these two advantage, it is indifferent where you buy the card.
