The Brighton City Guides answer what every visitor wants to know: where to find fish and chips that beat the pier kiosks, which dinners need booking days ahead, how to reach the chalk cliffs and the South Downs without a car, and where the night goes beyond the West Street queues. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Bincho Yakitori
Preston Street, near the seafront
A tiny Japanese grill where skewers leave the charcoal two at a time: pork belly, chicken thigh, hearts and quail egg, with kimchi rice on the side. Few dinners in town give you more for your money. From the food guide.
Brighton i360
Lower King’s Road, by the West Pier
A glass pod that climbs 162 metres above the sea, slowly enough to take in the whole coast and the Downs during a 25-minute ride. Book online and choose the last slot before dark for the sunset. From the things to do guide.
Charleston
Firle, near Lewes
The farmhouse where the Bloomsbury painters Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant covered every wall in colour. Take the guided tour, then slow down in the walled garden or the café. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Brighton
Day one: start at the Royal Pavilion Gardens, take lunch in the Lanes from the food guide, walk the seafront to the Palace Pier and end the evening in a pub from the nightlife guide. Day two: ride a bus up to the South Downs or a train to Lewes or the Seven Sisters with the day trips guide, then book dinner in Hove. For a rainy or slow day, the family and budget guides send you to free museums like the Booth Museum, the aquarium by the pier, a toy museum in the railway arches and a café for a long lunch.
