Kemptown
1 miles from downtown
This area was known historically as an artists’ quarter. Nowadays, white-stuccoed, -Regency-style houses line its streets, where a new industry of boutique hotels and cocktail bars is taking root. St. James Street is its main thoroughfare, brimming with eateries – try Red Roaster Coffee House for your morning pick-me-up.

Brighton City Centre
In downtown
Brighton’s centre has an abundance of pubs, eateries, clubs and cinemas. Check out London Road for its eclectic shops and catch a flick at the Duke of York Cinema (the UK’s oldest). Then walk further along to the Open Market for gourmet food and fashion. For small art galleries and independent shops, head to quirky, friendly North Laine.
Places to stay from $31 a night
The neighboring communities of Brighton & Hove combine to offer a perfect English seaside experience. Beyond the beaches and a pier full of attractions, there's also Brighton's Royal Pavilion – a breathtaking19th-century palace that flaunts the city's extravagant side.
Take a stroll down The Lanes to explore its large selection of independent shops, restaurants, and record stores. Brighton is also home to Europe's largest marina, with over a mile of boutique shops, water sports options, and Brighton's very own Hollywood-esque Walk of Fame. For a unique way of getting to the marina, hop aboard the Volks Electric Railway – the oldest of its kind in the world.
During the summer, Brighton Beach is very popular with both tourists and locals – just don't forget a towel to lay over its pebbled shores. Getting around town is easy, thanks to all-day tickets ("CitySavers") for access to an extensive bus network.

All these amenities rolled into one: seaside, beaches, a historical place with interesting sights like the Royal Pavilion, easy shopping, restaurants and cafes; good, cheap and reliable public transport, cycling easy plus the added bonus of Brighton's proximity to London.

Brighton has a lot to offer especially when the weather is good, but I would advise first-time visitors to plan for a Sunday/Monday or mid-week. It can get very busy on even those days. Pretty much everything is within walking distance. Hove has a less of a party vibe and I frankly prefer it - alas my friends live close to the slightly seedier of town (albeit in nice places). Still some good bookshops left...even the Waterstones has an indie vibe. Bands seem to pass through. Missed Goldfrapp last visit in early March when attending a birthday celebration. Also two good arthouses, Lanes for shopping, etc.

Nicely sized for a long weekend, we visited museums, shopped, ate a lot of excellent food. If I can, another year I'll try to be there for their arts festival in May, we just missed it but the posters (going up while we were there) all looked amazing

Brighton is a lovely town, from my experience people have been welcoming and kind. The beryl bikes system makes it easy to move around the city. They have a big queer community, which is, I believe, very nice and enjoyable and makes the experience super safe for any queer folks. Although, be aware that it smells like grass quite often. The pavilion and the museum are great. Fish and chips are cheap and good, which is nice. Be careful around the beach tho, the seagulls and pigeons are quite ravenous and brazen, they'll snatch your food right out of your hands if you're not careful. Lots of little art galleries along the beach, which is quite lovely.
We have been to Brighton lots of times before.

We have been to Brighton lots of times before. We revisited the Pavilion which was excellent. We had fish and chips on the pier also good. It was the school holidays so the shopping area was very busy. As we are pensioners we made full use of our bus passes on the excellent bus service travelling several times between hove, Brighton and Worthing. We out out at an excellent Persian restaurant called Shiraz in Hove.
Great beaches, perfect for relaxing on.

Great beaches, perfect for relaxing on. Shops are great and I loved wandering around and exploring the local area, the lanes and Brighton Pier. Amazing selection of cafes, bars and restaurants. If you’re looking for delicious pizza, Al Forno’s is amazing! Freshly made and super friendly staff! I walked everywhere during my visit but there are plenty of buses if you need to get around. Lots of attractions such as the sealife centre, zip line etc.
