Tourists who prefer cultural pastime will be impressed with many local museums. And not least due to the fact that cultural institutions of this kind are truly unique in Brest. For example, Musée national de la Marine is perhaps the most "Brest" museum displaying the maritime history of the city. It is housed in a building, which is considered the city's hallmark - Château de Brest. It is especially attractive for military history buffs. Exhibits presented here are really mind-blowing - they include sculptures, works of fine art, and ship models.
Other museums are no less remarkable. Fort de Montbarey is another place where fans of military history feel at home. A large number of military vehicles from the Second World War are displayed here. Abri Sadi Carnot is a shelter, which is associated with the tragedy that occurred during the World War II. And you will definitely hear something interesting about it from local guides. Connoisseurs of fine art gather at Musee des Beaux-Arts and those preferring contemporary art - at Passerelle center d'art contemporain.
Brest is equally attractive for lovers of beautiful landscapes. Thus, a walk in Jardin du Conservatoire Botanique National de Brest is a great option for a pleasant pastime. It also would be nice to explore Parc de la Penfeld where adults can relax on a bench while their children are playing on a playground. Admire truly spectacular views in Vallon du stang Alar - the place where you can find inspiration and serenity, which is often lacking in the life full of the world's distractions.
