Brighton and Hove is a sparkling, stylish and very special city by the sea. Brighton and Hove has been a fashionable seaside resort since the eighteenth century, when the relaxed charm of the little fishing town of Brighthelmstone and the presence of George, Prince of Wales, made it the place to be for Regency high society.

Today, the city by the sea is still a high-octane infusion of fun, with a mix of seaside charm and chic city cool. With a world-famous heritage and culture, seriously good shopping, a hyperactive arts scene and sparkling nightlife.

The sea is an ever-changing backdrop to life in Brighton and Hove, and a walk along the beachfront will reveal just some of what makes Brighton and Hove tick. From Brighton Marina to Hove Lagoon there's so much to see and enjoy.

Enjoy the exotic beauty of the Royal Pavilion, experience the buzz of the re-vamped beachfront, play on the Palace Pier, splash out at the Sea Life Centre or simply soak up the city's history and heritage. Experience the charms of an Edwardian gentry home at Preston Manor, obtain a fascinating insight into the development of Regency Brighton and Hove at the Regency Town House and for serious steam enthusiasts, the British Engineerium is a must. Foredown Tower Countryside Centre has a rare 'camera obscura' giving panoramic views of the surrounding downland. There are pretty parks too, great for picnics and peaceful afternoons.

Designated one of Britain's twelve Arts Cities, Brighton and Hove is the cultural capital of the South Coast. In May, Brighton Festival takes over the city with the biggest arts fiesta in England; an incredible action-packed three weeks. All year round you can see stars at the Theatre Royal, Brighton Centre, the Komedia theatre and more intimate venues, in everything from opera and dance to musicals, fringe theatre, comedy and cabaret. There's live music of all kinds at clubs and pubs, and with five cinemas showing all the best films, you'll never be bored here.

Brighton and Hove has one of the best selections of unusual and specialist shops, catering for all tastes. There are over 400 restaurants in Brighton and Hove, offering food from around the world. Plenty of golf and sporting activities of all sorts, and the rolling south downs, great for walking and cycling.
