It has been named Europe’s most expensive city to drink in, with the average cost of a pint in the seaside town coming in at a whopping £6.30, according to new research
A beloved UK coastal town has officially claimed the title for Europe’s priciest pint, knocking London off the top spot. Research conducted by credit card company Aqua reveals that Brighton boasts the costliest pints among 50 European cities.
In Brighton, you’ll be shelling out an average of £6.30 for a pint. London trails closely behind in second place with an average pint price of £6.20, while Cambridge takes third place with an average pint costing £6.
Despite its steep drink prices, Brighton remains a highly sought-after holiday spot.
Renowned for its vibrant music scene, delectable food and, naturally, its beach, Brighton is an ideal choice for a day trip – though it’s easy to extend your stay.
Time Out recently hailed Brighton as one of the top 50 cities worldwide, and it’s not hard to see why.
Attracting a whopping 11.8 million visitors from England alone each year, its quirky five-mile-long promenade is perfect for a leisurely stroll.
You’ll find karaoke bars, eateries, independent shops and, of course, a plethora of pubs, reports the Express.
Not to mention the grand Royal Pavilion, a true architectural wonder that began construction in 1787.
Constructed in the Indo-Saracenic style inspired by Indian architecture, this pavilion served as a seaside retreat for Prince George of Wales in 1811, who later became King George IV in 1820.
Today, the building welcomes the public for tours, and its stunning gardens are simply unparalleled.
If shopping is more your cup of tea, then a trip to The Lanes is a must. These winding streets are brimming with coffee shops and vintage markets where you can happily lose yourself.
For those seeking a touch of the great outdoors, just a stone’s throw from the town centre lies the UK’s largest dry valley.
Devil’s Dyke offers an idyllic setting for a leisurely stroll through the breathtaking rolling green hills, and it’s a splendid spot to catch a sunset.
