"Brighton - The city by the sea" Brighton by HORSCHECK

I visited Brighton twice (08.1997 and 09.2002) and I decided to build my VT page about this seaside resort on the day when I read in the newspaper that the famous West Pier collapsed by the wind and rain (29/12/2002).
In the past Brighton was the place to be for the Regency Society. Nowadays Brighton offers an interesting mixture of an university town, seaside amusement, amazing architecture and a scenic beachfront.
The traditional resort of Brighton is a good base to explore England's southcoast between Portsmouth and Hastings.
"When perusing a menu, never consider anything containig the words goujon, platter, or cheesy."
--- Nineteenth Rule of Travel by Pete McCarthy ---
- Pros:Interesting mixture of traditional resort and buzzling university town.
- Cons:Due to its popularity, Brighton is quite expensive.
- In a nutshell:The city by the sea.

I've never been to Brighton and was fascinated by your insights. Helpful and interesting information. Great photographs to accompany the stellar narratives.
Excellent Brighton tips. I spent many a weekend of my youth by the sea, watching football, drinking beer and eating Fish & Chips.
You were lucky to visit Brighton two times! Great story, thanx, Holger!
I spent a number of holidays in Brighton as a child, as it was the closest sea-side resort to where I lived. I recently discovered that a grandmother was born in Brighton.
Hi Holger, Brighton certainly looks like a nice place to visit on the water. Also, the B&B in which you stayed looks grand -- and the full English breakfast sounds delicious! Cheers, Bill
Brighton sure looks like a fun place to spend a few days. The beach, the amusement parks, pubs and fish& chips - all sound inviting to me.
enjoyed your page. I used to work in Portsmouth while i was in the Navy. Walked past HMS Vistory (Nelsons ship) every day going to work.
My favourite is a cold guinness Cheers
Like a lot your Off The Beaten Paths tips of your various pages!! Oh yes, and seems I did see the Dom without even knowing (at least by circling w/car).
It says "updated" were you here recently without telling me or have you just added a comma?? :)
