Getting to Brighton:

The nearest two airports to Brighton are London Gatwick and Heathrow. From Gatwick, you can get a train direct to Brighton. Alternatively, you could arrive via National Express or taxi.
Via the train, the journey is a little over half an hour. Via taxi, coach or car it’s about an hour.

To get to Brighton by car, come out of the airport and take the A23. This will eventually lead to Brighton via London Road. Follow London road and you’ll arrive dead in the centre of Brighton (Old Steine). If the road is busy, you can take a left at the roundabout. You’ll come upon another roundabout here. Turn right, and follow the dual-carriageway all the way to the Hollingbury Bypass. This provides an alternative route to get into Brighton – but the A23 is your best bet.

Getting around Brighton and Hove:

The bus service in Brighton is renowned for its reliability. There are several main areas of Brighton:

Bevendean and Moulsecoomb
Hove
Rottingdean, Saltdean and Peacehaven
Whitehawk and the Marina
Hove
Brighton city centre
Patcham
Portslade and Shoreham.

The Old Steine is located right by the seafront near the pier – you can’t miss it; there’s a war monument and a huge fountain there. From here, the bus service is pretty straightforward. To get to the Marina, hop on a number 7. If you’d like to go as far as Eastbourne get the number 12 bus. This bus also stops at Rottingdean, Saltdean and Peacehaven. To get to Hove or Shoreham hop on a number 5 (the 5 also goes the other way all the way to Patcham). If you need to get to Moulsecoomb or Bevendean, get a 49 or 10 respectively.
