From the ramparts you can get some good views of the port, but be careful where you take photos because this is still an active military base and some areas are off limits.

Recently renovated - tours in all languages. Interesting and interactive displays explain the importance of the city of Brest as a naval fort from Roman times, through both wars until today.
