Visit Brighton

Brighton is full on things to do and places to go. It's a lively, colourful, cool city by the sea.
Visit the Royal Pavilion, the amazing seaside palace of George IV - one of the most exotic buildings in Britain. In the Pavilion
you will see furniture and works of art from the 19th century. The Royal Pavilion Tearoom, with its wonderful balcony
overlooks the Pavilion Gardens.
Also in the Pavilion Gardens is the recently redesigned Brighton Museum. The art galleries include fashion and style, 20th
century art and design, and world art.

In Brighton you will also find many parks. The perfect way to relax after a busy day's shopping, the parks and gardens in
Brighton offer a quiet resting place. Preston Park offers a beautiful garden with paths and streams, while St. Ann's Well
Gardens in nearby Hove is perfect for tennis or a picnic.

A visit to Brighton wouldn't be complete without spending some time on the fantastic Victorian pier, with various places to
eat and drink, a fairground and arcade games.

The Brighton Sea Life Centre is the oldest Victorian aquarium in the world. With over 150 species and 57 displays, this is an
enjoyable day for the whole family! Watch giant turtles and sharks swimming above you in the underwater tunnel. Feeding
the rays is also an unforgettable experience.
