Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The average price of a night in a European hotel is €115 this month, according to data released April 7 by Trivago.

The Trivago Hotel price Index suggests that the days of room rates hit by the credit crunch may now be over - for the first time since July 2009, average hotel prices have risen above their equivalent 12 months earlier.

Almost all European cities showed a jump in room rates, some by as much as 20 - 30 percent. Hotels in the Czech Republic rose by a staggering 43 percent, according to Trivago, while the price of a night in Edinburgh and Barcelona rose by 23 and 26 percent respectively.

Switzerland, Russia and Sweden remain the most expensive countries, while Venice is the most expensive city - the average price of a night in the town will set travelers back €209.

Bulgaria was the cheapest country on Trivago's index, at an average €67 per night.
