Discover Brighton
Seafront walks, Regency heritage and independent shopping. This guide is a starting list for a tailored visit. Suggested stay: 1–2 days. The pacing recommendation is Falcon’s planning suggestion, not a fixed tour schedule.
Places to visit in Brighton
Choose the attractions that match your interests, access requirements and available time.
- Royal Pavilion and Garden — distinctive royal architecture.
- Brighton Palace Pier — traditional seafront atmosphere.
- Brighton beach and promenade — coastal walks.
- The Lanes — historic shopping streets.
- North Laine — independent shops and cafes.
- South Downs — an optional excursion outside the city.
Suggested route
Royal Pavilion → The Lanes → seafront and Palace Pier. Keep a South Downs visit for a separate excursion.
The route is an illustrative planning idea. Allow time for meals, queues, transfers and weather changes; not every attraction needs to be included in one day.
Plan your visit
Check current opening days, timed tickets, accessibility and group-entry arrangements directly with venues. Colleges, royal residences, stadiums and places of worship can restrict public access. Nearby excursions are identified separately from city-centre visits.
