Sightseeing

From Hove’s genteel dog walkers to the brave bare-all naturists at Black Rock – each of the city’s beaches has a highly distinctive character. Just don’t expect sand. West of the pier, artsy stalls and ice cream kiosks occupy the old boat builders’ sheds of the King’s Road Arches – home also to the dinky and fascinating Brighton Fishing Museum.

Is a timeless beauty spot on the sprawling South Downs. Just a few miles out of town, the largest ’dry valley’ in the UK makes the perfect location for a dog walk or simply an aimless ramble as the sun sets. The Dyke has been a major tourist draw since the 19th century, and it’s very easy to see why.

Brighton’s Grade-II listed pleasure pier with fairground rides, bars and restaurants stretching out into the sea. Brighton Palace Pier is a tough old bird. Having stood for well over a century now, this Grade II-listed pier has survived two world wars, constant battering by storms (one of which almost destroyed it before it opened in 1899) and millions of visitors every year. Join the masses in a pilgrimage to the arcade games, fairground rides and chippy vans.

Brighton’s arty district packed with independent shops, restaurants and traditional pubs. Much of Brighton oozes character and cool, but The Lanes are definitely leading the charge. These narrow streets brim with brilliant independent cafés, record stores, vintage emporiums, bookshops and art spaces – all housed in pretty 16th-century buildings. Wandering this maze of passageways is an excellent way to spend an afternoon.

An exotic-looking palace in the middle of town. The Royal Pavilion looks like it should be perched on the banks of the Yamuna in India. This ornate, Grade I-listed structure was designed by John Nash in the early 19th century – in the Indo-Saracenic Revival style, FYI – and was once a holiday home for George, Prince of Wales (later George IV). Today it’s frequented by visitors after a glimpse inside its quaint replica rooms, art galleries and very impressive grounds.

A space-age viewing platform on the seafront. Some might see it as a bit of an eyesore, sticking out like a tent pole on the seafront, but the views from this 150-metre-high observation tower are pretty impressive. Here you can gawp at pretty much all of Brighton, out across the South Downs and over the Channel – including, if you’re lucky, the Isle of Wight.

A museum and gallery in the heart of the city’s cultural quarter with a huge. variety of diverse displays. Part of the Royal Pavilion, this city-centre museum and gallery is free for locals, while visitors are charged £5.20. And that’s actually good value, given the treasures on show – from fine art and ancient Egyptian treasure to 20th-century design fashion to exhibitions from contemporary artists.

The Sea Life centre in Brighton is in the world’s oldest operating aquarium. Built in 1872, it’s hard not to be taken aback by the striking original Gothic arches as you enter. We particularly like the Lagoon, populated with beautiful stingrays, and the interactive rock pool where you can touch a starfish or sea anemone.

A seafront exhibition centre and performance venue that’s the place to go in Brighton for big-name comedy, music and theatre. Many of the UK’s highest-profile tours head here, presumably undeterred by the venue’s history of hosting final gigs – both Bing Crosby and The Jam performed their last concerts here.

Food scene

A beloved burger chain. Every self-respecting Brightonian considers themselves a Grubbs aficionado. This Sussex burger chain has no website or Facebook page – but bloody hell, their menu’s good. Get down to Lewes Road, St. James’s Street, York Place or Western Road to sample some of the tastiest patties in town.
