The Royal Pavilion
The Royal Pavilion, with its Indian Mogul exterior created by John Nash, was the seaside palace of George IV. It is a landmark in Brighton, and its minarets and onion domes have been part and parcel of the popular image of the town since the 1820s. Guided tours through this richly-decorated palace are offered. Refreshments are available in the Queen Adelaide tea room.

The Brighton Pier
The Brighton Pier epitomises old-fashioned English popular seaside culture. Built in the 1890s, the pier offers fun in the form of roller coasters, children's rides and all kinds of slot machines and video games. There are also places selling sweets and candy (including the famous Brighton Rock) as well as bars and a restaurant out on the pier.

The Lanes
The Lanes, with its intricate network of narrow, twisting alleyways, is the historical heart of Brighton, as it was here that the old fishing village Brighthelmstone had its centre. Today this maze-like area offers an extraordinary mix of shops, pubs and restaurants. In the middle is Brighton Square, with a bronze sculpture by James Osborne.
Brighton Museum & Art Gallery
Brighton Museum & Art Gallery is a state-of-the-art visitor attraction, with dynamic galleries and displays. It houses one of the UK's finest collections of modern decorative art and design, with Salvador Dali and Edward James's 'Mae West's Lips' sofa among the highlights.
