Your post will probably get moved to the ports of call boards for Europe - lots of good discussion there. We enjoyed going to Quimper - pretty town, lovely pottery and gelato, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare *Miss G* Posted March 13 #4 Share Posted March 13 I’ve been doing a lot of research and it seems that Brest was razed to the ground by the allies, during WW2, to capture it from the Germans. Sadly, that means that almost everything of architectural significance is gone. There is a city tour bus but it doesn’t look appealing (to me). The map can be found HERE. The cruise port appears to be in an industrial area. I may opt to take the shuttle into town if the weather is nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mike B Landlubber Posted March 14 #5 Share Posted March 14 I have no knowledge, but the part about “main tourist attractions” here may be interesting. Going to Viator and looking for stuff at Brest may also give you some ideas. The cruise lines contract with many of the same people. https://www.shuttledirect.com/blog/brest-shore-excursions/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check which shorex are being offered as they would give you an idea of the highlights and what could be possible within your hours there. Also check the local Brest Tourist information website, Tripadvisor, youTube, and results which appear when you google eg "Tourist Information Brest" or similar. And if you have not already done so, you could choose which past threads with the word Brest in them to read from these https://boards.cruisecritic.com/search/?q=brest&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=462 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
