Best Things to Do in Brighton, East Sussex, England, Brighton, England

Hey Dreamer and Wanderer, it´s part two of my England trip! I started the journey in London, where I spent the weekend. Afterward, I met up with a good friend I initially met on a past trip to the United States, but he lives here in England. He invited me to his new home in Herne Bay, so I stayed at his place for almost a week. The next stop that I chose was Brighton to explore more of the Southern Coast of England. I was so excited about that! And I hope you, too, when you go ahead and learn about Brighton’s best things to do.

Brighton is a city on the southern English coast in East Sussex. Officially, it’s two cities in one; the City of Brighton and Hove. The former fishing village was turned into a resort town in the 18th century because of its beautiful beaches and brilliant weather conditions. Due to the location in the very South, it´s one of the sunniest places in the entire United Kingdom. The city is about 53 miles/ 86 kilometers south of London. Two hours by car or one and a half by train makes it an excellent destination for a day trip. But I recommend staying in Brighton and Hove at least for a weekend so that you can explore the city itself and the surroundings and enjoy shopping, nightlife, and the beach. Today, the city is one of the largest in the country and is known for its inclusive communities. Young people in the arts and creatives and older people enjoying their golden years post-retirement. It´s also known as the “unofficial gay capital of the UK!” ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
