What to expect
Inside Brighton
You will stroll through the bohemian North Laine district with boutiques, trendy cafes, and Victorian cottages. You will get acquainted with the popular street art in Brighton and try to recognize famous musicians on the walls of the Prince Albert pub. Along the way, I will share interesting facts from the city's history. For example, you will hear about the scientific discovery of Dr. Richard Russell and the eccentric behavior of Prince of Wales, which played a crucial role in Brighton's life.
The historical heart of the city
Walking through the mazes of the elite quarter The Lanes, you will find yourself in the very heart of historical Brighton. The Prince of Wales, also known as the Prince Regent and future King George IV, left us a unique legacy - the fabulous, one-of-a-kind Royal Pavilion. You will hear its fascinating history and learn why Queen Victoria, upon coming to power, decided to get rid of it as soon as possible.
A stroll along the waterfront and a bird's-eye view of Brighton
Strolling along the promenade and pier, you will enjoy views and the scent of the sea. You will also learn why Brighton has always attracted artists, writers, nonconformists, and politicians.
