Exploring centuries of city history on a scavenger hunt in Brighton

Back in 1705, a small town on the coast almost came to an end. After severe storm surges, only around 1,500 people were still living in the settlement, where Romans had already settled. The reason for the crisis was the unpredictable nature of the rough sea, which threatened the undyked land, and poor economic prospects. 

The fact that things turned out differently and you can go on your scavenger hunt in Brighton, England's largest seaside resort, is thanks to the doctor Richard Russell. He made the healing power of seawater famous and founded an up-and-coming spa resort here.

As a result, Brighton - despite its location by the sea - is not characterized by seafaring, but by its history as a seaside resort. The city is correspondingly sophisticated. One building stands out in particular: the Royal Pavilion. This is the summer residence of the later King George IV, built in the early 19th century. Today, you can visit parts of the complex and the romantic Empire-style garden.

Although the old town itself is not as extensive as a royal park, it is very cozy thanks to its many pretty alleyways. If you wander through "The Lanes" on your Brighton scavenger hunt, you will discover numerous boutiques, pubs and cafés that exude a pleasant tranquillity. Many people come here on vacation - so strolling through the old town is correspondingly relaxed.

The observation tower was opened in 2016 and rises 162 meters into the air. Don't worry: you don't need to climb any steps. The viewing platform lets you float comfortably up into the air so you can enjoy the panoramic view of the city. From the top, you also have an excellent view of the pier and the beach. The latter stretches from the marina to the West Pier along the shore and invites you to take a walk or dip in the waves.

An atmospheric end to the scavenger hunt

If you want to reminisce a little after your Brighton scavenger hunt, we recommend the pubs in the old town and the lively North Laine district.
