Top Attractions in Brighton

Brighton Essentials

Brighton combines Regency architectural grandeur with Victorian seaside heritage. The Royal Pavilion showcases exotic Indo-Saracenic design, while the Victorian Brighton Palace Pier and the skeletal remains of the West Pier define the shoreline. The city’s history is preserved in the narrow 16th-century alleys of The Lanes and Volk’s Electric Railway, the world's oldest operating electric line. Modern landmarks like the 162-meter i360 observation tower stand alongside cultural staples like the historic aquarium and the independent boutiques of North Laine.
