4 days in Brighton Itinerary

Once a sleepy little fishing village, Brighton is a modern seaside town known for its Asian architecture and a large gay community.

Venture out of the city with trips to Dover Castle (in Dover), Portsmouth (The Mary Rose & Portsmouth Historic Dockyard) and Paultons Park (in Romsey). There's still lots to do: take a leisurely stroll along Brighton Palace Pier, look for gifts at Gustamps, admire the landmark architecture of Royal Pavilion, and enjoy the sand and surf at Brighton Beach.

In July, daytime highs in Brighton are 24°C, while nighttime lows are 15°C. Cap off your sightseeing on the 27th (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
