Welcome to Brighton
Lively, youthful, and home to a thriving LGBTQ community, Brighton’s seaside attractions, alternative spirit, and fierce pride make it one of England’s most distinctive beach destinations. In addition to the nostalgic delights of Brighton Pier and the rarefied scenery of the Royal Pavilion—both top things to do in Brighton—younger visitors flock to the Brighton Lanes, where boutiques and secondhand shops jostle with bijou bars and hipster-filled restaurants. While you can take in the sea air on its pebbly beach, walks to the chalky heights of the Seven Sisters are a worthy challenge for experienced ramblers.
