Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
The best things to do in Brighton
Want to know what’s what in ’London by the sea’? Here’s our ultimate guide to the best things to do in Brighton right now
1. Brighton Palace Pier
Brighton Palace Pier is a tough old bird. Having stood for well over a century now, this Grade II-listed pier has survived two world wars, constant battering by storms (one of which almost destroyed it before it opened in 1899) and millions of visitors every year. Join the masses in a pilgrimage to the arcade games, fairground rides and chippy vans.
2. The Lanes
Much of Brighton oozes character and cool, but The Lanes are definitely leading the charge. These narrow streets brim with brilliant independent cafés, record stores, vintage emporiums, bookshops and art spaces – all housed in pretty 16th-century buildings. Wandering this maze of passageways is an excellent way to spend an afternoon.
3. Royal Pavilion
The Royal Pavilion looks like it should be perched on the banks of the Yamuna in India. This ornate, Grade I-listed structure was designed by John Nash in the early 19th century – in the Indo-Saracenic Revival style, FYI – and was once a holiday home for George, Prince of Wales (later George IV). Today it’s frequented by visitors after a glimpse inside its quaint replica rooms, art galleries and very impressive grounds.
and as always have a chilled day from the Viking
