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.

Beirut

B-018, Lot 317 La Quarantaine, is frequently name-checked as the best club in the world. Resembling an old bomb shelter, it has a retractable roof so you can dance under the stars. Bar Louie, Rue Goraud, is a vast lounge-restaurant-club complex. Dine from 10pm and by 1am you will be dancing on the tables.

Berlin

WMF 007 Summer Edition, Rolandufer 13 (www.wmfclub.de), opens Thursday to Saturday. Expect top DJs at Berlin's best club night. SO36, Oranienstrasse 190, spans techno to house at weekends.

Ibiza

DC10, C.tra Salinas KM 1, open on Mondays from 8am, is the island's best club. Strut your stuff inside or on the terrace with planes dropping overhead on to the runway next door. Arrive at 5pm straight from the beach and dance to the coolest DJs until the joint closes at midnight.

Barcelona

La Terrazza, Poble Español, Avda Marques de Comillas, is summer's premier outdoor dance space. Sunrise is sensational. Souvenir, Noi del Sucre 71, Viladecans industrial estate, has top clubbing.

Paris

Cabaret, 2 place du Palais-Royale, is top-end chic. Rub shoulders with A-list in a plush milieu. Le Red Light, 34 rue du Depart, has top DJs and capacity crowds.
