Known for colorful nightlife and traditional English seaside pursuits, Brighton and nearby Hove are the closest beach resorts to London, making them popular end points for classic car runs from the capital. Many end at the racetrack, a few streets from Brighton Marina, Europe’s largest, housing several shops and eateries. Many Brighton guesthouses on Booking.com are also nearby.
Running along the beachfront is the world’s oldest operating electric train, ending by Brighton Pier. Lit up at night and also known as Palace Pier, this city icon houses amusements and rides, and is one place to pick up some famous Brighton Rock, the confectionery sharing its name with an edgy Graham Greene novel set here.
A new addition, the Brighton Wheel is right by the pier, while one of its most famous attractions is the Royal Pavilion, a former royal retreat built in Indian style.
Just west are 2 of the most popular Brighton shopping spots – Churchill Square shopping center and The Lanes with its narrow streets and unusual shops. This area also has several Brighton hotels with parking, and the Artists Quarter, a series of ex-fishing huts that are now galleries. Arts + culture are big in Brighton, and Brighton Festival is the UK’s 2nd largest arts festival, while Brighton Pride is also a big event on the annual calendar.

Wow such an eclectic collection of people and characters!
Wow such an eclectic collection of people and characters! Too much to see and do in two days. A really interesting place would love to come back to :-)
Loved the pier, the Lanes were tricky to find though. Bus service seems comprehensive but was hard to get around without knowing the time tables and routes.

So went for a meal mid evening around 6/7 and sat outside and a man with a pig on a lead comes walking past. Not even joking on this one. :).
Coming from a small town. To this place it is a big difference, very easy going and everyone is friendly,
Short bus trips is the best way we found of getting around £2. Hop on the bus for 10 minutes and explore a different part of the city each day.

As a result of visiting Brighton those long years ago, I decided to stay and have never looked back! This is one of the greatest cities I have ever visited, and I have visited many! I moved here from London, hence Brighton had big shoes to fill, it did so elegantly and more! If you like real life and never want to waste a minute this is the place for you!
From people watching in the crazy amount of busy cafes to rising steadily to nearly 300 feet above the Sussex Downs, this city has it all!

The Best Western was right near the beach and a good location close to the Brighton Pier. The hotel is a little older, but the room was spacious and clean. The restaurant food was very good, and the staff is very friendly.

My first visit to Brighton.
My first visit to Brighton. A nice clean resort with a great promenade and pier and lots of back streets to explore with nice restaurants and pubs. Very expensive though, for those of us more used to Northern prices.

This is a relaxed waterfront town.
This is a relaxed waterfront town. We were a bit out of the main town and for us it was perfect. Good food, nice neighborhoods, easy walk to town, Lovely old buildings, beautiful surroundings. One of my favorite destinations in the UK.
“Excellent location, clean and neat rooms, staff was really helpful and the bar downstairs had wide selection of food and drink, super nice and rather cheap for a hotel.”
