Formerly known as the Palace Pier, this picturesque Victorian pier has always been included in the list of holiday destinations in Brighton and venue for special events. It offers rides and attractions for the whole family, plus a lot of fancy restaurants, food kiosks and bars to choose from.

The Brighton Marina is one of the most popular spots in the city. It is one of the biggest man-made marinas in Europe and accordingly offers a complete package of fun and excitement from its fancy restaurants, boutiques, shops and service centres to its casinos, leisure and gaming areas and water activities.

Step back in time at the wartime air-raid shelters and experience the sights and sounds of Britain’s Home Front. Visitors can walk through original tunnels, carefully re-equipped to show what daily life was like during the 1940s, and follow the stories of locals through clear, well-curated displays and an audio guide. First opened in 1939, the shelters were the largest purpose-built civilian air-raid shelters in the country, originally designed for 3,850 people and later expanded during 1940–41 to hold up to 6,500. Cut directly into the sandstone cliffs beneath the town centre, the mile-long network offers a rare look at wartime engineering and civilian life. The site reopened in 1996 as a visitor attraction after restoration by Stockport Council and has since become one of the town’s most important museums. Today, it works as both a memorial and an educational space, giving a direct sense of how communities lived through the air raids.
