Surrounded by the picturesque South Downs and perched on the East Sussex coastline, the small city of Brighton is a special and beautiful place. Home to traditional British pubs and excellent shopping, it has always been a favourite weekend destination.

We got to mention the Ambassador Hotel – the only dog-friendly hotel in Brighton.

Brighton beach has a plethora of ice cream stalls and fish and chip shops, with amusements and candy floss on Brighton Pier.

The best areas to stay in Brighton are the seafront, and the city centre. In these areas, you’ll have the best bars and restaurants at your disposal. You’ll also be within walking distance of the amusements at Brighton Pier, shops and cafes, and the markets. You’ll be within easy reach of the Brighton Pavilion, as well as all of the nightclubs and bars that make up the city’s thriving nightlife.

The city centre always has a friendly bustle to the place and there is never a dull moment. The Royal Pavilion is up there with the pier and beach in terms of iconic images, which was ordered by King George IV and built in the early 19th century.

Once you get down to the seafront, as well as the beach, you will notice the famous Palace Pier, which is home to typical arcade attractions and a fairground as well as various drinking establishments, restaurants, and souvenir shops.

Right by Palace Pier, you will find the Sea Life Centre, which has the world title for being the oldest aquarium in the world and has a decent number of species in the vicinity.

From the pier you will also see the evocative remains of the old West Pier, which was derelict for some time before it burnt down.
