Traveling by bus not only brings you straight into the heart of town but also allows you to unwind and soak up the coastal scenery en route, seeing the approaching Sussex shoreline appear through your window.

Once you arrive, make your way to the iconic Brighton Pier, where nostalgic amusements and candyfloss await, alongside stunning vistas of the English Channel. Just a short stroll away is the exotic Royal Pavilion – a whimsical palace that promises to transport visitors to another time with its Indian-inspired architecture and lush gardens.

For those who love to wander, The Lanes offer a labyrinth of narrow streets filled with quirky boutiques and cosy cafes. When hunger strikes, enjoy a classic fish and chips at one of the local eateries overlooking the sea or venture into North Laine for an array of eclectic dining options.

If you’re yearning for a breath of fresh country air, hop on a bus heading to the nearby South Downs National Park.

Brighton Marina is a fantastic destination for a day trip, offering a vibrant mix of shops, restaurants, and entertainment right on the water’s edge. Forget about parking woes; reaching this bustling hub is straightforward, letting you focus on enjoying the journey and the destination itself.

Stroll along the boardwalk, breathe in the sea air, and watch the boats bob in the harbour.
