Brighton is the perfect day trip from London. Only an hour by train, there's a beach, a fun pier, great food... and yet I had only been once. I was already planning another trip when I received an invite to spend the weekend at the new Brighton Harbour Hotel with some other bloggers to get to know the real Brighton. Sounds like a plan! Wander around The Lanes If there's one thing you cannot miss, it's wandering around The Lanes. Together with the Brighton Pier this is probably also the most touristy part of the city, but I love it. It's a maze of narrow streets with so many interesting shops. And coffee shops... So many coffee and cake shops! Drink coffee in...
