If you’re hoping for a trip to remember, then you’re in the right place. Brighton has actually been voted one of the top 10 city beach break destinations...in the world! What could be better than a blissful retreat which combines the buzz of city life with the serene shores? Swap a sunbathing session for a unique experience on the sand by hopping aboard Volk's Electric Railway. We’re sure you’re thinking, “what makes this cheery train so special?” Well, astoundingly, it’s the oldest operating electric railway in the world. It travels along one mile of the sizzling seafront, so you can glide across this stunning coastal setting in style.
The vivid splashes of colour throughout this destination really do put the “bright” in Brighton, with the exterior of the houses and buildings being just as vibrant as the rest of the region. The attractions are equally as incredible, including the spectacular Royal Pavilion, which is rooted in rich history and showcases phenomenal architecture. Now, let’s fast forward to the main event: the British Airways i360. This amazing observation tower (which overlooks the popular promenade) really is something to shout about. Book a slot for yourself to admire the scenery as you shoot above the skies, taking in the breathtaking views of the landscape below through the domed, clear-glass windows.
Brighton has it all. Not only do you get to see the busy cityscape and unwind by the sea, but you can also escape to Brighton Marina, which is yet another reason to visit this lustrous land. Venture on a leisurely evening stroll and cherish the illuminated yachts peacefully floating atop the waters. Even better, this area is a hub of entertainment, featuring a bowling alley, a cinema and an indoor mini-golf centre. You can indulge in a little retail therapy here, too, thanks to the varied range of shops to peruse. Who knew one place could be so full of excitement?
Brighton offers a wealth of divine eating establishments, providing a mix of trendy chains and charming local vendors. So, you’re in for a real treat. If Indian is your cuisine of choice, you’re going to jump for joy when you arrive. There’s a wide selection of food spots serving up your favourite spicy dishes, from casual and relaxed takeaways to fine dining restaurants. Or, if you’re seeking out a juicy burger with all of the trimmings, take a seat at Honest Burgers, which plates up the best patties for meat-eaters, vegetarians and vegans - everyone is catered for.
