A seaside town in the southeastern part of England, Brighton is about an hour-and-a-half’s drive from London. It’s a thriving town with famous pebble beaches and a vibrant nightlife that draw UK residents and tourists from all over for a break away from bustling cities. Aside from these, go to British Airways i360 Viewing Tower, with its moving observation deck made complete with a bar. History buffs can still get a glimpse of the once-magnificent West Pier and marvel at its remnants from the shore. Stroll around The Lanes, with its historic walking areas, upscale restaurants, pubs, and shops. A trip to this fascinating town will only be complemented with charming accommodation.
