Tips & Deals for Travellers
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 kit
This just makes us chuckle: a new wheelie suitcase with motor-powered steering, complete with a live locator ID in case of loss, an anti-gravity handle for a feather-light touch; all running off rechargeable batteries. Go to liveluggage.com
The website
Take the stress out of pre-holiday shopping with beach cafe.com which stocks everything from hip swimwear to beach reading (chosen by The Travel Bookshop in Notting Hill, west London ) and music tailored to your destination. Plus resort reviews and more.
The festival
There's still time to buy tickets for the UK's most picturesque festival ( rockness.co.uk) which is held on the banks of Scotland's Loch Ness where riotous acts such as the Prodigy and Dizzee Rascal will aim to wake the beast of the deep (13-14 June).
The hotel
Croatia's smartest new tourist address ( lesic-dimitri.com), on the island of Korcula, is set in a bishop's palace dating back to the 18th century. It has just six suites, a spa, and private yachts to navigate the Dalmatian Islands. Doubles from €180 (£157) B&B.
