Brightly coloured houses, friendly locals, very creative and so many pubs doing great food! Just take a stroll down Southover Street and have a pit stop occasionally and find out the local news and views. Go solo or in a group you will be sure to be made welcome. Brighton's best kept local secret.

Just locate the Pepper Pot and stroll down into a beautiful park. Marvel at the Swans but do please take care of the seagulls, they love a chip and don't really ask first! The squirrels and the local park cat are a sweet distraction from city living. It is a lovely place to be during the daytime.

Like most cities the car is not King.

The buses are excellent all over the city and are a great way to explore the different parts. Buy one of those hop on hop off tickets and get exploring. The Trains are also good and you can be in London in about an hour, visit the art galleries and museums have some food and catch the last train back just before midnight.
Co si před odjezdem rezervovat

The Early Bird gets the best table in town.

If you find a restaurant you like the look of before you arrive, I recommend booking it immediately. That way you won't miss out on the incredible food scene we enjoy here. Top Tip!

This is a Welcoming City

It would be true to say you are entering a bubble when you get here. Brighton is not quite like anywhere else in the UK. You will sense that as soon as you arrive. Enjoy this city by the sea, explore it's hidden corners and meet the locals. Welcome to Brighton!
