What to see in Cherbourg

Cherbourg offers visitors a rich blend of maritime heritage, scenic beauty and cultural experiences. Situated at the tip of the Cotentin Peninsula, this town is steeped in history and natural charm.

La Cité de la Mer is a must-visit attraction in Cherbourg, especially for those interested in maritime history and oceanography. Housed in the former transatlantic liner terminal, this museum is dedicated to underwater exploration and offers an array of fascinating exhibits. The highlight is “Le Redoutable,” the world’s largest submarine open to the public, where visitors can experience life aboard a nuclear submarine. The museum also features a stunning aquarium, including a 10-metre-deep abyssal aquarium, one of the deepest in Europe, showcasing the mysterious life of deep-sea creatures. Interactive exhibits on oceanography and the history of transatlantic liners make La Cité de la Mer a captivating visit for all ages.

Perched atop the Roule mountain, the Musée de la Libération offers not only a significant historical perspective but also panoramic views of Cherbourg and its surroundings. This museum is dedicated to the Battle of Cherbourg during World War II and the town’s liberation. Housed in a former German fortification, the museum vividly recounts the events of the 1944 battle, providing insights into the lives of both soldiers and civilians during this tumultuous period. The journey through the museum and its surrounding fortifications offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war.

A stroll through Cherbourg’s old town and port area is a delightful experience. Wander through the cobbled streets and admire the mix of medieval and Renaissance architecture. Visit the Basilique Sainte-Trinité, a splendid example of Romanesque and Gothic styles. The old town is filled with quaint shops and cosy cafes, perfect for enjoying a leisurely coffee or sampling local delicacies.
