Visit Brighton, England




Brighton is a seaside resort on the south coast of England, county of East Sussex. Traveling to Brighton is easy as the city is just a 60-minute train ride from London (76 km) and it's a great option to escape London's busy life and immerse into a much calmer and relaxed ambience. Brighton is a popular seaside destination for tourists and favourite getaway for Londoners. The city is renowned for its diverse communities, quirky shopping areas, rich cultural life, music and art scenes.

Other attractions to discover are The Clock Tower in the centre of Brighton, built in 1888 in commemoration of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, the city village Hove famous for its colorful beach huts and Regency architecture, and Rottingdean - a picturesque, traditional English village.

The Royal Pavilion, Brighton's landmark, is a remarkable building, that combines Regency grandeur with the exotic style of India and the Orient.
