Advantages: Historical interest, vibrant eccentric decor, magnificent furnishings and furniture Disadvantages: always leaves you wnting more
The Royal Pavilion sits comfortably in the heart of Brighton presiding over its surroundings like an elderly and eccentric uncle at a gathering in his honour. In unconventional attire, with a benign countenance and serene demeanour which belies it’s chequered past, it silently surveys the busy metropolis around. Brighton citizens and its many visitors mill around, some casting fond glances in its direction, others viewing the ‘inappropriate’ apparel ... ...the tales it can tell of its illustrious and notorious past combined with a respect for its longevity, having survived against all the odds.
*****HISTORY*****
Whatever one feels about Brighton’s premier landmark, nobody can deny that it and the person responsible for its construction are the two factors which have had the most impact on the development of modern Brighton. In the mid eighteenth century, Brighthelmstone was little more than a fishing ...

Advantages: A Very Colourful Slice of History. Lavish Interior. Extraordinary Architecture. Superb NEW Audio Guide Disadvantages: Poor Ventilation - Over Hot, especially in summer.
...already read this review on the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, I wanted to do this very brief update following our visit last weekend.
As this vies for position as the prime tourist attraction in our city - with Brighton Pier - we tend to take our Polish visitors for a look around "Prinnies Palace". Being regular visitors, Mrs R and I, although always enjoying the experience, may tend to approach each visit with a sense of deja-vu. Not last Sunday ... ...the new Audio Guide sets, nothing particularly revolutionary about that you may say, but in fact, for us, they transformed, not to mention considerably prolonged, our visit.
Instead of standing in each room, briefly referring to the guide book, we lingered to listen to all the fine detail and explaination on the guide. Not only are the contents, design and building of the palace explained, but also there are many anecdotes about the Prince Regent ...

...any visit to Brighton is The Royal Pavilion.If you spend the day out in Brighton it's a fantastic town for walking and sight seeing and is easy to find hip things to do wherever you walk. Head on down to The Pavilion which is in the middle of town. This building was originally built by the prince regent and is a trip to set eyes upon. It looks like the taj-mahal, and is beautiful day or night to look at. Its one of the things that makes Brighton ...

Advantages: Right in the middle of town centre Disadvantages: NO
...are in beautiful Brighton and the weather isn't great for sunbathing on pable beach (which is nothing special), you should definitely consider visiting the Royal Pavillion.
It is worth to pay few ££ to get in, but you will not regret it. The decorations and interiors are amazing and i can asure you that you will not see anything like that anywere else. The painted wall decorations are exquistly detailed and the furniture might be strange but its ... ...room and its contents. The only small disadvantage is you're not allowed to photograph or videotape any of the rooms.
There are booklet at the admissions desk for sale so you can show it to your mates because they will not be able to imagine it without seeing.Seeing in believing! ...

Advantages: easy to get to Disadvantages: not very exciting attraction
...my school made me go. The tour of the place was rather boring and not very useful in understanding the history of the pavillion. The tour guides knew what they were talking about, but did not make it sound in any way interesting
The actual pavillion was a beautiful building archtecturally, but it was rather filthy outside. Inside, the design was random-different in every room. It was not what i was expecting of a royal pavillion and was decorated ...
