The Royal Pavilion – India in Europe
It may look like you have just opened a page on some India travel guide but this sight called The Royal Pavilion is, in fact, in Europe, situated in the city of Brighton, about 50 kilometres south of London, UK. Once used to be a royal residence. Its construction started in 1787 for George, Prince of Wales as farmhouse and later as the seaside residence for Prince Regent, later King George IV and was completed in 19th (1823) century. It has really very unique design which does not have any equivalents in the UK, nor in Europe. Pavilion has very Indian appearance and resemble The Taj Mahal – one of the most important parts of Tourism in India, however that one was completed within 20 years (1632 – 1953).

The Royal Pavilion is not like Taj Mahal inscribed on UNESCO’s List of Heritage Sites but it is still very interesting and magnificent attraction in the southern England, which you should not miss once you are around London. It is very nice especially in the evenings when it is richly illuminated.
The Royal Pavilion is open daily except for few national holidays or regular annual maintenance. If you would like to organize some group trip here, it is recommended to book in advance during the summer, as the Royal Pavilion used to be quite busy.
Basic admission is £10 for adults and £5,70 for kids, but there are a number of special offers for families, students, or seniors… The best way how you can get there is by train, Pavilion is located just 15 minutes walking from Brighton Rail Station.
During your tour around the Royal Pavilion you will visit such great places as The Music Room, The Banqueting Room, Royal bedrooms, The Great Kitchen, Royal reception rooms and Indian Military Hospital gallery. You can also take Audio Guides which are already included in the price. And if you prefer being in the nature rather than moving from one room to another one, Royal Pavilion is still good option for you. There are gardens where you can expect different species of plants in the different season.
