Visit the UK’s favourite seaside destination for overseas tourists, known for its diverse communities, quirky shopping areas and large cultural, music and arts scene.
If you spend the day there you are guaranteed to find plenty to see and do.
Make sure you take a walk on famous Brighton Palace Pier – great for all ages. … The pier is open all year, there is free admission, a fish and chip restaurant & no charge for deckchairs to relax on!
The Royal Pavilion
The Royal Pavilion is a wonderful building in the centre of Brighton with a colourful history.
Built as a seaside pleasure palace for King George IV from 1815, it mixes Regency grandeur with the visual style of India and China.
Open to the public throughout the year.

Shopping Opportunities
Many people enjoy two deservedly popular districts: The Lanes – between the Royal Pavilion and the beach – and the North Laine area – close to the station.
Both are worth exploring with interesting independently run shops, cafes and pubs.
The Viewing Tower
The most recent new attraction in Brighton is the British Airways i360 Viewing Tower on the beach.
This is the world’s tallest moving observation tower. You can see fantastic views along the coast and over the South Downs whilst on the 25 minute ‘flight’.
After going up in the tower call into the Grand Hotel nearby for a cup of coffee!

The West Pier
The derelict pier is a favourite subject for photographers.
Once a symbol of the leisurely seaside lifestyle Brighton had come to represent, it sadly had to close after a fire.
Are you looking for a holiday cottage?
If you plan to visit Brighton you may choose to stay in a quieter place: Rosebud Cottage is in picturesque Steyning 10 miles away. There is a regular bus service to Brighton and frequent trains from nearby Shoreham by Sea.
