One of the best ways to discover Brighton is on foot. The city’s compact size, fascinating architecture, hidden alleyways, and vibrant street art make it ideal for walking exploration. From guided historical tours to self-guided art walks, Brighton has an exceptional range of walking experiences for visitors of all interests.
Free Brighton Walking Tours
Brighton Walks offers free guided walking tours of the city centre, typically departing from the Royal Pavilion. Led by knowledgeable local guides, these tours cover Brighton’s history, architecture, and hidden stories. Tips are appreciated but not obligatory, making this an excellent option for budget-conscious visitors.
The Brighton Seafront Walk
Starting from West Pier Residence at Regency Square, the seafront walk takes you east past the i360, Brighton Beach, the Sea Life Centre, Palace Pier, and into the Kemptown area. Walking west, you can explore Hove’s quieter seafront, elegant Regency architecture, and the peaceful Hove Lawns. The full seafront walk from Hove to Kemptown is approximately 5 miles.
The Regency Architecture Walk
Brighton has some of the finest Regency architecture in England. A self-guided walk around Regency Square (where West Pier Residence is located), Brunswick Square, and the seafront terraces reveals a magnificent collection of early 19th-century townhouses and crescents.
The Street Art Walk
Brighton has a thriving street art scene, particularly in the North Laine and Kemptown areas. A self-guided street art walk takes you past works by internationally recognised artists alongside local talent, all decorating the city’s walls, alleyways, and buildings with colour and creativity.
