Q: I will be coming to Barcelona would like to purchase the discount Card However I am unable to enter into the web site for more information, i.e. cost. I have removed all pop up blockers on my computer. Appreciate any information.

A: There are commonly 2 types of problem if you cannot follow one of our links on our website.

1. The first is to do with activity booking links like the Barcelona Cards, Football Stadium Tours, Flamenco Shows and Tourist Bus etc. This type of problem is often due to SKYPE that is installed on your PC and interferring with loading of the webpage (solution given below) or with another type of Internet Service e.g. ONSPEED (the web accelerator package).

2. The second type of problem is due to looking up timetable information. Problems visiting this type of link are due to the fact you need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your PCto view the document. (see the solution given below)

SKYPE Isssues: We have found that if you are running SKYPE on your PC it interferes with some of the links on our website and prevents you from visiting the webpage. What I recommend is that you disable SKYPE and then try and visit the link again. Right click on the SKYPE icon and then click Quit. This should then enable you to visit our links. This SKYPE issue not only happens on our website but also on other websites.

If the above does not work and you still cannot visit the link then it is possible that during the installation of SKYPE the SKYPE program also installed an additional Ad-On in Internet Explorer. These are little programs loaded in the background when you install SKYPE that interact with Internet Explorer. These Ad-Ons have been known to interfer with webpage loading (not just on our website). This means even if SKYPE is disabled you will still experience the problem with visiting some of our links. We then recommend you try disabling the Skype Ad-Ons by the following method:
Open Internet Explorer on the top menu Click Tools / Options / then click the Programs tab and look for the button that says Ad-Ons ;and click on it then scroll through the list of Ad-Ons and disable all SKYPE Ad-Ons.

There are many thousands of types of Interent Browser Ad-Ons or additional programs that can interfer with webpage loading. We recently had a report that the service ONSPEED was also interferring with page loading on some of our links. We recommend that you try and disable all additional types of internet programs if you cannot access one of our webpages. Most of the time we have found there is some program on the site visitor´s PC that is interferring with the loading of the web page. We thoroughly test all our weblinks on a regular basis and if you are only using Internet Explorer or Firefox without additional Plugins or Ad ons or other Internet softwareeg. web accelerator software you should not have any problems visiting our links.

If the above fail then you can try installing the Firefox free web browser (which we think is a better browser than Internet Explorer and is much more secure than Internet Explorer). You can obtain firefox from the following website: Free FireFox Web Browser Download. Once you have downloaded Firefox try and visit the link again using Firefox. Firefox is a more stable browser and shows less interferences than with Internet Explorer.

If none of the above work then try using the links given below which are built by a different method and may enable you to visit the page that you need. We have listed only a few of the most common links where problems have been reported to us:

Barcelona Card
Barcelona FC stadium tour
Flameno Show in Barcelona
Hop on Hop Off Tourist Bus

Timetable Viewing Problems - Unable To Follow Links To Timetable Information
Another possible problem is for site visitors not to be able to view timetable information provided by links on our website. This is because often the timetable information provided by the transport company is only available in pdf format (not a webpage) and you need to have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer.
