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.If you’re already starting to think about where to visit in 2015, Lonely Planet might be able to help. The travel site has released their pick of the best new tourist destinations to visit this year.
In at number one is the observation deck at the One World Trade Center, opening in Spring this year. At 1250ft (of the total 1776ft) visitors will be able to dine at restaurants, visit shops, or simply enjoy the panoramic views of the Big Apple.
Also making the list is the burial site of King Richard III, the last English king to die in battle. The new £4 million visitor centre in Leicester is next to the spot where the king’s remains were buried over 500 years ago – and discovered in a car park in 2012.
So whether you want to see the inside of an Icelandic ice cap, take on a zip wire in South Africa, which spans a stunning World Heritage Site full of waterfalls and valleys, brave the world’s scariest hiking route in Spain, or taste Ireland’s oldest beer, here’s the list of top 10 tourist attractions to visit in 2015.
