Types of Accommodation
Alongside hotels, guest houses and B&Bs are common in Brighton. Sea-view rooms at seafront hotels are a separate room type, and hotels fill quickly on summer weekends and during big events.
When to Go
May to September is the liveliest time for the beach and city life; the Brighton Festival in May and Pride in August are the busiest events. Spring and autumn offer a calmer break.

Things to Do in Brighton
Brighton Palace Pier, the Royal Pavilion, shopping in the Lanes and North Laine, the British Airways i360 viewing tower and the Seven Sisters cliffs are favourite stops. Along the south coast, Bournemouth and the village of Rottingdean are worth exploring too.
Who Is It For?
Brighton is ideal for couples and groups of friends wanting a short seaside escape from London, festival and nightlife lovers, and fans of shopping and food. Families and those seeking calm may prefer Hove.
Practical Tips
- Brighton’s beach is pebbly, so beach shoes help.
- Book months ahead for the festival and Pride.
- Parking in the centre is hard; arriving by train is more practical.
