Brighton
What you need to know before you go
Brighton offers an irresistible mixture of kitsch seaside charm and hip hedonism. Its iconic pier is packed with colorful fairground rides and retro amusements, while its expansive pebble beach throngs with happy vacationers and laid-back locals whenever the sun pokes its head out.
But Brighton is far from your traditional British beach town, with one-of-a-kind architectural gems like the ostentatious Royal Pavilion, dizzyingly diverse arts and dining offerings, and chic shopping districts like The Lanes. And its nightlife is legendary, with buzzing bars, pulsing beachfront clubs and one of the UK’s largest LGBT scenes.
