A Sneak Peek into Brighton
- Brighton, the English Channel's largest and best-known beach resort, spans five miles along the South Downs' pebbled and often steep chalk shoreline.
- Brighton, once a fishing community with small, winding streets, blossomed into an attractive holiday resort in the 18th century, where England's aristocracy relaxed in stylish baths and hotels while enjoying the curative influence of sea air.
- Charming Regency terraces, the beautiful Palace Pier, and the Royal Pavilion, the exotic summer palace of George IV, one of the country's most colourful and eccentric rulers, are all reminders of this period.
- Even though Brighton's iconic pebble beaches are now lined with souvenir stores and amusement arcades, it remains a culturally active destination and one of England's most popular tourist destinations, particularly in the summer.
- The famous Brighton Festival takes place every spring, followed by horse races in the summer and the famous London to Brighton Veteran Car Run in November.
- Brighton is also a fantastic destination for sports fans. Sailing, kitesurfing, and diving are also popular activities, as are hiking and biking along with the downs or through the many beautiful open places, such as ancient Stanmer Park just north of town.

The Best Places to Visit in Brighton
Royal Pavilion and Brighton Museum
- The Royal Pavilion is difficult to overlook. The beautiful peaks and spires of the tower, located in the centre of Brighton, just steps from the sea, look like they belong in India.
- That was undoubtedly the intention of architect John Nash, who designed the Prince of Wales' summer residence in the Indian Mogul style (later George IV).
- The Banqueting Room, with its exquisite oriental décor and the Royal Bedrooms.
- There are audio guides available. Enjoy a traditional afternoon tea in the Royal Pavilion Tearoom for a true treat.
- The Brighton Museum & Art Gallery is located in the former Royal Stables and Riding School of the Pavilion.
- The museum's magnificent collection of Art Deco artefacts, costume exhibit featuring 18th-century clothes, and the renowned Willett Collection of porcelain and ceramics are all worth seeing.
- There's also a decent (if modest) Egyptian Gallery worth seeing.
Brighton Palace Pier
- A visit to a pier, with its amusement arcades, joke stores, and fish-and-chip vendors, is a must for every excursion to the beach.
- Brighton's Victorian-era Palace Pier is one of the country's most stunning sites, thanks to its ornamental ironwork and grand surroundings.
- Palace Pier, which juts out to sea on spindly iron legs like the top deck of a steamer, is the only survival of the town's three original piers (a storm wrecked one, and another sits derelict near the town's coastline).
- Since it was completed in 1891 and stretched 1,700 feet from the shore, it hasn't lost any of its attraction.
- Aside from dining and shopping, the pier offers a variety of additional activities, such as cutting-edge thrill rides and video game arcades.
Brighton Promenade and Seafront Attractions
- There are many entertaining activities to do near Brighton's Palace Pier, many of which are only a short walk along the promenade away.
- Volk's Electric Railway is a fun diversion for families travelling with children.
- This narrow-gauge line runs along the seashore from the pier and has three stations where passengers can board the train.
- With a length of 1.25 miles, a ride can also save you some time walking between sites.
- You'll pass the Brighton Fishing Museum along the way, which has intriguing displays on the town's beginnings and long history as a fishing town.
- Through the Black Rock station, the railway also connects to Brighton Marina.
- Set aside some time to stroll across the marina, which offers excellent shopping and dining opportunities.
- You'll want to disembark at the Aquarium station to see SEA LIFE Brighton.
- This updated attraction, which opened in 1872 as Brighton Aquarium, currently houses over 100 different types of water life.
