Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Worth a walk around. Seemed to be many jewellery shops? There are some nice pubs and bars to stop in. Quite narrow in places and when busy a bit cramped. Intriguing place to meander through.

    As beaches go, this is not exactly the seashells or the Mediterranean! But as english beaches go, this is pretty good, with lots of bars and restaurants and things to do! Well worth a weekend trip, but that’s about it! And a great place to catch up with old friends too! 😀

    Busy, but fun! Plenty to do. Shops, places to eat, drink and rides for the kids.
    £1 charge per person to go on the pier and things are not cheap on there so worth noting. But fun for all

    A kind of bazaar. An area full of life, full of color. There are a lot of small shops that sell all kinds of products, generally artisanal or small series. Antiques, vintage products and much more. Buildings full of graffiti, cafes, small bars and indescribable crowds. An area with a good vibe.

    I’ve been coming here for over 40 years so I’m biased but it really is a beautiful spot. The views are spectacular but also a fantastic place to have a walk and blow the cobwebs away

    Beneath the cliffs along the Sussex seafront there are paths to take you alongside the beach.

    Within Brighton there are different paths some on the same level as the beach and some are a bit higher.

    The ones next to the seafront are well maintained however when I visited in January 2024 one of the paths higher up the cliff was closed.

    You get some lovely views of the beach and the surrounding area including the piers and the marina.

    The seafront towards the marina is full of things to do - swimming, playground areas and a little train to take you to the pier with its traditional rides. Great day out.

    Went with my husband as have wanted to swim with no costume for ages. Lovely peaceful atmosphere and had brilliant swim without the faf of changing. Mostly guys and a few couples. All felt very natural and relaxed. Would be good to have more parking facilities nearby

    Cute local market, unfortunately not everything open at this time, but there's still a lot of variety.

    Great park - lovely for families with small children as plenty of space for them to run about and do what they please. Cafes, lawns, formal borders and a rose garden with statues, wild flowers in the summer, a velodrome situated in the north-east corner, tennis courts, childrens play area, runners and joggers galore. Opposite the park, across the main London Road is the largest municipal rock garden in Britain, built up the side of a steep railway embankment. Various pathways and streams wind through its grounds.

    There is so much to discover here. Don't bother with the big house, there isn't much there anymore. Get out and visit the organics and foraging, then try for forage for yourself.

    Lovely flea market in quaint old house in the middle of Kemptown. Full of treasures and really worth a visit. Friendly staff.

    My family recent had an overnight stay in Brighton. I fell in love with Zorian’s artwork. On returning from our night away, I contacted Zorian by email and arranged to purchase one of his Rhino prints in a beautiful chunky wooden frame.
    All my dealings with Zorian were an absolute pleasure.
    He arranged for it to be shipped to me. It was packed so well and labelled very clearly as fragile.
    I am delighted with my magnificent piece of artwork and can highly recommend Zorian for his passion and enthusiasm, he was just so happy to hear that I was pleased with my artwork. He even advised when it came to hanging the piece.
    Thank you Zorian!!

    Beautiful altar setting in huge building. Wonderful mosaics around altar. Exterior imposing but rather severe
