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.Europe’s hotel prices in March 2009 are seven percent cheaper than a year ago, according to figures released March 6 by Trivago.
The average price of a night in European hotel will set travelers back €102, the same as in February 2010, although rising prices in Southern and Central Europe have cancelled out falls in the North.
A hotel in Rome costs 13 percent more than in February, according to the figures, whilst prices have also risen in Athens and Barcelona. Hotel rooms in Copenhagen and Stockholm, however, have fallen in price by six percent since last month and 13 and 10 percent respectively since the same time last year.
Geneva remains Europe’s most expensive European capital, at €195 a night. Eastern Europe remains the cheapest area, at €64 a night on average for Krakow and €68 a night for Prague.
