Great getaways: Rome, Sharm el-Sheikh, Tuscany and Marrakech
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.Eternal city
Extend your bank holiday break with a three-night escape to Rome. The trip with Kuoni departs on 27 August with BA flights from Gatwick, and includes a B&B stay at the Hotel Oxford for £499 per person. Despite the hotel's distinctly un-Italian sounding name, it's located just off the Corso d'Italia, close to the Villa Borghese park – home to an art gallery, temples, fountains and landscaped gardens (kuoni.co.uk).
Sheikh it
Hayes & Jarvis has two five-star breaks to Sharm el-Sheikh for £599 per person. Both include Thomson Airways flights from Luton, transfers and a week's B&B accommodation – but the choice of hotel is yours. Opt for either The Ritz-Carlton, which departs on 17 September, or The Savoy, leaving three days later on 20 September (hayesandjarvis.co.uk).
Tuscan trail
Take in the beauty of Tuscany on a week-long walking tour with Ramblers Worldwide. Departing on 14 October, the trip costs £679 per person with BA flights from Heathrow to Pisa, half-board at the Hotel Giardini in San Marcello, transfers and a tour leader throughout. It also includes a tutored wine tasting session and cooking class at the hotel, along with a day trip to Florence (ramblersholidays.co.uk).
Magical Marrakech
See the seductive sights of Marrakech in early September. Trailfinders has a five-night break to the Moroccan city staying at the Hotel Kenzi Tichka with breakfast for £459 per person. This price includes easyJet flights from Gatwick on 4 September and transfers (trailfinders.com).
