Brighton - Hove Guide

Brighton is the trendiest resort in the UK or even on the planet, according to the people who live there. Also known as London-by -the Sea, you soon get the impression of what Brighton and Hove have to offer. This is a seaside resort but of a very different kind - a metropolitan resort of the kind only usually found in France or Spain, along the Mediterranean coast.

Having said that it still offers all of the attributes of a popular seaside resort - long sandy beach, a pier, a long promenade, lots of cafes and restaurants, plenty of attractions and entertainments. Things really get going after dark though and that is when the metro side of the city comes to the fore - with loads of nightclubs and excellent bars to choose from. 

Brighton has attractions to be proud of as well. The Royal Pavilion is unique in style and history having once belong to Queen Victoria. The royal connection goes back along way as well. The Prince Regent used to visit in the 1780's and that set the trend for many people to follow and they're still coming. 

The Palace Pier is not royal but you will find a welcome fit for a King. This is one of the best examples of a traditional  English pier to be seen in the country. There are some excellent rides and the usual entertainments and refreshments. There was a second pier but that burnt down recently and the future of the remaining structure is very uncertain at present.
