My name is Victoria and I’m a Brand Ambassador at Eddy Travels. As a Londoner, I know how stressful living in the city can be. Now, more than ever, I’m looking for ways how to escape the busy life and relax with my partner. Finding a fantastic hotel deal with the Eddy Travels AI assistant, and seeing that Brighton had fewer virus cases than London, I quickly made a weekend plan for the two of us.
There is nothing better than exploring a new destination and spending some quality time with your loved one. At least this is how my partner and I talk love.
Below are a few reasons why Brighton is a perfect romantic weekend getaway from London.
1. Right on your doorstep
You know very well, navigating through London can take ages sometimes, especially on a day off. So instead of going somewhere in London next weekend, spend the same time travelling to Brighton and have the most relaxing city break. By the way, there were plenty of empty seats on the train, so it was easy to maintain a safe distance from other travellers.
2. Enjoy a drink in the clouds
Boy oh boy, we love complementing our cocktail hour with spectacular sunset views! Thanks to BA i360, we’ve discovered an amazing spot to raise a glass to our partnership. A great thing about BAi360 is that it has large outdoor spaces for queuing and in the viewing pod itself so we could relax and enjoy our time in the open air.

3. Have fun at the iconic Brighton Pier
You are never too old for the arcades! Start gaming with the classic Coin Pusher or open your eyes whilst being spun around the Booster high above the sea. Forget about being a serious grown-up, rediscover your inner child and have some fun right on the pier. The place is also following all the government’s safety guidelines so you will be able to enjoy your time together without any troubles.

4. Get inspiration from King George IV
Sounds interesting? During our guided tour to Royal Pavilion, we learned that King George IV loved escaping to Brighton. He used to come here to accompany his pleasure-loving uncles, gamble, ride horses, party, and enjoy the sea and fresh air.
Arrive early and enjoy a romantic walk in the open Old Steine or Victoria Gardens. And if you end up staying late, plan a relaxed dinner in the area to share your thoughts about the royal experience.

5. Wander through the Lanes
I’m an absolute fan of narrow streets and cosy passageways. Wandering through the colourful quarter together was a great decision to spend our quiet Sunday morning. This quarter is also full of shiny treasures like jewellery and antiques. Maybe you’ll find that perfect engagement ring or simply a beautiful piece of jewellery for your loved one?

6. Let the hotel take care of your romantic time
I believe that the best thing about the 21st century is technology. The hassle-free Eddy Travels AI assistant helped me find the best hotel deal in seconds. If you fancy some bubbles in your hotel room, the onsite bar will have you covered (even after 10 pm!). Do you want to add more romance to your stay? Make your other half feel extra loved and enjoy a wonderful evening of pampering and relaxation in the seaside spa together.
Also, you can be assured that hotels have implemented enhanced cleaning and safety measures to ensure you have a safe stay. While chatting with Eddy Travels AI assistant, simply type ‘disinfected hotels‘ and explore the best accommodation options with disinfected rooms.
7. Explore this youthful and brightly coloured city on foot
A cool thing about Brighton is that it is a vibrant, youthful, and buzzing city. The relaxed atmosphere and the cheerful youth made us feel like locals. One of the best things about Brighton is that pretty much all the restaurants, bars and attractions are within walking distance.

To sum everything up, Brighton became one of my top favourite cities in the UK. The relaxed atmosphere and welcoming locals coupled with the sea and fresh air made our quality time together even more romantic. We enjoyed the best of what the city has to offer safely and returned to London filled with positive memories.
