The Brest railway station has the particularity of being just a stone's throw from the city centre and the tramway. It offers numerous connections between the city of the bridge and Quimper, Morlaix, Rennes or Nantes. Moreover, Paris is now only 3h30 away from the Finistère coast. In front of the SNCF train station, you will find the bus station which serves the whole of Finistère, as well as city buses. The Brest railway station was rebuilt after the war, but has kept its original architecture. It is pleasant with its small bookshop-grocery store and its hall where you will discover beautiful frescoes.

A new mode of urban transport, accessible and fast, the cable car connects the two banks of the Penfeld (Brest's coastal river), the Lower Siam and the Capuchin Plateau. It takes only three minutes to travel from one to the other. During the crossing, you will enjoy the magnificent view of the harbour of Brest and its castle. Please note: the two cabins of the cable car, which become opaque as you approach the buildings, are not face to face to cross each other, but one above the other. Each of the two cabins can carry up to 60 people. This is an original way to visit the city on both sides of the Penfield for those who are not afraid of heights!

Opened and commissioned in 2012, the tram was quickly adopted by the Brestois and is now part of the urban landscape. Line A, 14,3 km long, crosses the east agglomeration in west and has 28 stations. Rest assured, the journey time is about 40 minutes from one end of the line! The tram thus crosses the town of the Porte de Plouzané (front of Thales) at the Porte Gate, in the Froutven area, or the Porte Gate in the Kergaradec area. The line runs from a. m. to p. m. Monday to Saturday and from p. m. to p. m. on Sundays. It offers departures every 5 to 10 minutes between 6 a. m. and 20 p. m.: thus, waiting times at stations are minimized. The rames are equipped with suitable platforms for disabled people and bicycles can pass through the tram at certain times of the day. Smart: The tram is part of the Bibus network and its users can use tickets interchangeably in the tram, bus and cable car. Tickets can be purchased directly at the Bibus agency or at the terminals at each station.

If you do not want to take the taxi or your car to reach the city centre from the airport or alternatively, you can take the Bibus shuttle, which connects the airport to the Porte de Guipavas tram station in 10 minutes. From there, the city centre is only a few stations and accessible with the same ticket. The hours are tight on the main arrivals and arrivals of the aircraft. This service is provided from a. m. to p. m. (depending on day), 7 days a week, year-round (except May 1). Outside the hours of operation of the tram, the shuttle departs from the train station.

Four regular lines were added to the 44 already present on the Penn-Ar-Bed network managed by the Conseil général du Finistère. A number of opportunities are available to you. If you are a frequent user, the General Council has set up an annual subscription for your journeys on the 48 regular network lines serving Finistère (except the Quimper-Brest line). It costs € 400 (the rate is reduced to € 320 for young students under the age of 25). It is also possible to take a monthly subscription at € 40 (€ 32 for young people). If you are rather occasional travellers, you will always have the possibility to purchase your tickets to the unit at the single price of € 2 (€ 1,50 for those under 25) or per book of 10 tickets to € 15. If not, for the Quimper-Brest line the maximum rate is 6 € (3 € for those under 25 years). And with a ticket, you benefit from free correspondence on the network (except the Quimper-Brest line) in the day. You will also have access to the urban networks of Quimper and Morlaix. Without forgetting an hour of free correspondence on the Brest bibus. It's worth it! Also: the network lines are open to all users. And students can still benefit from the Transcool + subscription. Otherwise, you can use the TAD service on reservation at 0 810 810 029.

Third in number of pontoonplaces in the rank of marinas of the Atlantic façade with its two ports, that of Château and that of Moulin Blanc, Brest now has more than 2,200 places for visitors and boats of any size. These two ports are run by Brest'Aim, the mixed economy company of the city and BMO. Equipped with floating pontoons and facilities for boaters, port du Château is also fitted with a full equipment for waste-water treatment but also for the draining and motor oils. This is why with its ideal location (near the bottleneck) and its large linear pontoons from 300 to 400 metres long, port du Château reconciles the city with the sea. A harbour office, named Espace Bernard Giraudeau, was operating in 2012. This marina is the theatre of the maritime activities of the urban area, like the Tonnerres de Brest festivals. Many other events punctuate the place, including the departures and arrivals of major transatlantic races. Along the marina, you will find bars and restaurants and you can walk on the prints, registered in the bronze, in the hands of great navigators. Port du Moulin Blanc, bordering Oceanapolis, is the historical port of the city. Many pontoons and few bar-restaurants, like Le Tour du Monde of Olivier de Kersauzon, make the place successful.

Penn-ar-Bed is the gateway to the Finistère islands! From Brest, you can reach Sein, Molène or Ouessant on a crossing that takes up to 2 hours 30 minutes, with the boat calling at Le Conquet. Aboard one of the company's six ships, the view of the coast is breathtaking and the sea spray invigorating! Tip: to spoil your loved ones, Penn Ar Bed offers "Pass'Ports" gift vouchers for a round-trip sea crossing, valid for one year.
