How to Get from Brest Airport to the City Centre

The airport shuttle is operated by Line 20, and it runs between Brest Airport and the “Porte de Gouesnou” tram stop. You can take Tramway A towards “Porte Plouzané” to reach the city centre. The total journey time, including both shuttle and tram, is approximately 40 minutes.

It’s worth noting that there may be waiting times at the shuttle and tram stops. While the service is frequent on weekdays, it slows down on Saturdays and even more on Sundays and bank holidays.

The shuttle ticket costs €1.70 per person and is also valid for the tram journey. You can buy your ticket directly from the driver or purchase it in advance by downloading the Bibus app.

Combining a shuttle and a tram is a practical option if you are looking for a budget-friendly way to reach the city centre. However, it is not a direct route, so you’ll need to take the shuttle first and then catch the tram. This may be tedious if you have a lot of luggage. Plus, you will need to check the shuttle and tram schedules in advance to make sure they match your arrival time. This transportation mode requires more organisation beforehand.

Bus line 16 connects Brest Airport with the city centre. It’s a direct but fairly long route, as it serves several city areas. In addition, the bus stop is not close to the airport and requires a 15-minute walk. The journey time is around 1 hour, excluding walking and waiting.

A bus ticket costs €1.70. Discounts are available for groups of 4 or more, who pay €4.50 on Saturdays and Sundays. Groups of 10 or more can travel for €1 per person when tickets are purchased as a group.

Taking the bus from Brest Airport is the least convenient way to get into the city centre, especially as there are two more straightforward options. Not only is this journey time longer, but it also requires a 15-minute walk, which is far from ideal in poor weather, at night, or if you have luggage.
