Brighton is a seaside city in the county of East Sussex, located in the southern part of England. It is a city with a unique history and architecture. Before 1086, the city was known as Brighthelstone, a popular gathering place for Prince Regent (later King George IV), who frequently visited on weekends. He created a space for coastal parties, known as the Brighton Pavilion, which transformed Brighton from a quiet fishing town into a popular destination. Today, it continues to attract many domestic and international tourists every year. Brighton is also known as an art city, with a friendly atmosphere and a welcoming attitude toward cultural, ethnic, and social diversity. The city features a well-known LGBT community, and its district called The Lanes is a maze of narrow streets filled with numerous shops, including boutiques, jewelry stores, restaurants, and art galleries.
