Musee national de la Marine

The Musée national de la Marine is located inside the Brest castle, an impressive medieval fortress. This is the city's oldest monument. The museum's collection retraces 17 centuries of the history of Brest arsenal and ocean-going fleets.

This maritime museum is excellent and the measures taken for corona actually heightens as you’re constantly guided in the direction of the tour and plenty of space.

Les Ateliers des Capucins

Reviewed By carofish - London, United Kingdom

A former convent and then a workshop for the shipbuilding navy, it is now a huge space for the people of Brest and many kids to try their luck at rollerblading, skating, dancing, or just walking around. It's got a bar/restaurant, shops, a library, a climbing wall... You can't miss it! Also why would you come all the way to Brest and not try the cable cars leading to les Capucins (only 2 euros)? That's madness!

Oceanopolis

One of Brittany's main tourist attractions, this aquarium is known as the biggest open-air aquarium in Europe.

Really worth a visit, it’s been my second time there. Really enjoyed it, but you should go in the morning when there isn’t such a crowd.

Le Telepherique

Reviewed By N282UFericp - Bordeaux, France

An excellent shortcut to the newly opened Capucins site. The view is really beautiful. You can have unusual views on the Recouvrant bridge, the Penerf river and the naval facilities around. Beautiful.
