How Cosmopolitan Brighton is a Far Trendier Place Than Cheeky Postcards Suggest

Brighton Rocks…

Forget kitsch stereotypes, Brighton offers a truly unique and cosmopolitan city break…

With the advance of low-cost airline travel and cheap last-minute deals, many holidaymakers are opting to jump across to Europe for a week and embark upon the increasingly popular ‘city break’. But how about reducing your carbon-footprint and visiting one of the UK’s most cultured, cosmopolitan and unique cities, all from the luxury of your holiday home? With a vast array of houses, apartments and cottages to suit every need, a break in Brighton makes a refreshing change…

Forget everything you think you know about the seaside. Sticks of rock, arcade machines, piers, inflatable dinghies and buckets and spades are all well and good when stereotyping the average British seaside holiday, but are becoming increasingly out-dated as Britain’s seaside becomes more cultured, classy and cosmopolitan. Brighton is one such example, a leading light of seaside towns and a truly unique place possessing a blend of cultures, history, nationalities and attractions into one thriving and chic urban playground.

Brighton offers one of the best nights out in England. Possessing a wealth of pubs, bars and nightspots (nearly 200!), whether you’re after a quiet drink visiting friends, a night of glamorous cocktails or an all-night clubbing experience, Brighton has something for you. Its nightlife is renowned, with several famous DJs regularly spinning records at the city’s bars and clubs, including Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox and Felix Da Housecat.

If your appetite gets the better of you, you’re never far from an unrivalled choice of restaurants and eateries. Whether it’s fish and chips on the beach, or a night of fine wining and dining, there are well over 200 destinations, catering for every taste bud! Brighton is also home to leading restaurants catering for those with special dietary requirements. ‘Food For Friends’ is one such example, a fantastic restaurant offering a wheat-free and vegetarian menu, which is well worth a visit, vegetarian or not! Alternatively, there is an abundance of shops selling locally grown and organic produce, enabling visitors to truly taste the diverse culture and rural heritage of Brighton and the rural tradition of the surrounding coastline and countryside.

This cosmopolitan seaside city also offers some of the best shopping in the south of England. The Laines are famous for their unique atmosphere, culture and array of shops, boutiques, stalls, markets and cafes. From huge bric-a-brac goldmine, ‘Snoopers Paradise’ to vintage clothing shops, organic food stores and inspiring art galleries, the Laines have something to offer everyone.

Whilst the city’s hotels offer tourists pleasant accommodation, the best way to experience Brighton’s unique culture is to fully immerse oneself within the city’s thriving heartbeat. Brighton boasts an impressive assortment of self-catering houses, apartments and cottages, and all of them afford you the freedom to explore this wonderful city at your own accord. So what are you waiting for? A warm welcome awaits every visitor to Brighton, and a thousand treasures are waiting to be uncovered!
