An hour from Victoria for \u00a315 to \u00a330 booked ahead. A long day covers the Pavilion, the pier, the Laines and a walk along the front, though two days is better.\r\nIs the Royal Pavilion worth it? | Yes, at about \u00a318. George IV built it as a seaside palace with an Indian exterior and a Chinese interior, and the banqueting room has a dragon holding the chandelier. There is nothing else like it in England.\r\nWhat is the murmuration? | Tens of thousands of starlings flocking over the ruined West Pier at dusk between October and March. It is free, it lasts about twenty minutes, and it is the best reason to visit in winter.\r\nIs it safe to swim? | In season and near the lifeguarded sections, yes. The beach shelves steeply, there are rip currents, and most of the coast is unlit and unpatrolled outside summer. Do not swim at night after drinking, and never jump off the pier \u2014 it is illegal and people have died.\r\nWhen is Pride? | The first weekend of August. It is one of the biggest in the UK and every bed in the city books out months in advance at well above normal prices. Plan for it deliberately, either way.\r\nWhat is the difference between the Lanes and North Laine? | The Lanes are the narrow medieval alleys full of jewellers and antiques.
