Visit Brighton for the perfect day by the seaside. Amble through the vendors, games and rides on the famed pier, its whimsical, whitewashed facade standing out against the bright blue of the sky and sea; indulge in greasy boxes of fish and chips, while seagulls circle hungrily overhead; and watch the calm waters lap against the smooth, pebbled beaches dotted with striped green confections of deckchairs.
At night, take in a concert at the Brighton Dome, or hit the clubs and dance to just about any kind of music imaginable. Brighton is a vibrant, creative city with a little bit of everything: historic sites, fabulous shopping, nightlife and tons of interesting boutique hotels; it’s a true London by the sea…

What to Do in Brighton
Royal Pavilion: One of England’s most eccentric historical buildings, the Brighton Royal Pavilion was the vacation home of the scandalous George IV. When he first arrived in Brighton, the Pavilion was a mere farmhouse, which he proceeded to enlarge and expand into an Eastern fantasy of Indian and Chinese architecture, full of rich furnishings and epic chandeliers.
Brighton Pier: When you can see the tops of roller coasters and flashing carnival lights of the sign on the pier, you know you are in Brighton. Probably the most iconic attraction in the city, the Victorian pier is a great place for a family outing. Come to eat, shop, ride or just enjoy some fresh air and a gorgeous view of the sea.
Brighton Museum and Art Gallery: Brighton has always had a rich, artistic heritage. The newly renovated Brighton Museum features travelling exhibitions as well as galleries showcasing 20th-century Art Nouveau and other eclectic historical collections.
