When looking for some fun in England head to Brighton! With its fabulous beaches, multitude of shopping experiences, and its offerings in the arts, Brighton is the place to be during any season. Its biggest attraction is, of course, the beach. All types of beach activities abound: surfing, sailing, volleyball, skateboarding or just working on a tan. The Lanes offers a great variety of shops in a lovely setting.
As every English seaside town should have, Brighton has a pier. Actually, it boasts two piers but one has, unfortunately, been ravaged by storms over the centuries and is now awaiting redevelopment. The pier which survives intact is now known simply as Brighton Pier and with the dodgems, roller-coaster, arcades, cafes and restaurants, it’s a typically-English affair. The pier acts as the focus for fireworks displays during the summer months and these line the beach front with a mass of visitors to enjoy the spectacular displays.
When visiting Brighton, one must pay a visit to The Royal Pavilion. Built for The Prince Regent, the future King George the IV, it was in use by The Royal Family until Victorian times. It boasts an Indian style and reflects other Asian cultures as well, principally Chinese. The building and decoration of The Royal Pavilion was a “no expense spared” project. To appreciate the building in all its splendor, plan a visit to walk around and enjoy it in person on your trip to Brighton.
If you have lots of energy and would like to get out into the bracing English seaside air, consider a walking tour. Seeing Brighton by foot is a great learning experience and you will undoubtedly find the history of Brighton and its nearby sister city, Hove, to be fascinating. Walking tours are guided and you will be treated to all sorts of interesting information about the history and landmarks of the towns. The guides can also share information about other things to see and do while in Brighton.
If you prefer to travel by vehicle, consider a bus tour. The tours run throughout the day and operate on a daily ticket that allows you to get off when you see something interesting and then catch another bus to get to another location on the same ticket. This gives you the opportunity to spend as much time as you like at interesting sites along the route without purchasing more tickets. The buses will take you to all of the big tourist attractions as well as lots of interesting monuments and local landmarks. A bus tour really gives you the flavor of Brighton so consider scheduling one early in your visit.
