the garden that was suprising us
ardnas67 Says: In Wiltz there is a garden 2,5 ha. big and it is built by handicapped, unemployed and artists. It suprises you. Many buxus, waterfalls, iron bridges, Gaudi-look-a-like-mosaic sculptures. Very, very nice!
Lunaina Says: Like most towns in Luxembourg you should enjoy it by walking through. Wiltz is such a town too, there is a big parking place where you can find some material that refers to the world war, on the picture you find a big tank...

LE MONUMENT NATIONAL DE LA GRÈVE
RORRO72 Says: El heroísmo y la resistencia de los habitantes de Wiltz contra la ocupación alemana de 1940 a 1945, le han valido a la ciudad el título de "Ciudad Mártir".Es aquí que se inicia el 31 de Agosto de 1942 la huelga general de resistencia al opresor nazi.

La Sandwicherie: Nice quality, great staff
Lunaina Says: A nice place in Wiltz is the Sandwicherie, here you can get all kind of sandwiches, and a friendly staff is there to help you.

Though ours is but a quiet and clam city, get-togethers at cafes and parties often do break this rule of clam! A joyful, cheerful, and lively atmosphere is always at the coner to welcome you. And should your visit happen to be within the annual two months Wiltz Festival, then you would get to see how we use celebrations to turn night into day!
During the Festival time, which is always in the summer, there are different types of actives, at our open air- city square. These rang from Jazz, reggae, classical, to pop music, featuring different international and local bands. The selection of which is very dependent on how they were able to attract the attention of inhabitant’s here:-)
Dress Code: Dress code is much of a free one, so long as people do not come in their birth suit:-)

A good road network is what we have here! That is, in the upper and lower parts of the city. And a city bus shuttles these roads, twice in every hour from 5:00am, until mid night. There is a train station, with rails linking us to the other part of the country. And trains are available, once in every hour, form 6:00am to 11:00pm.
There is no ban on the use of private cars, motorbikes, nor bicycles! So you can come along with yours if you so wish:-)

Just as is true for every part of Luxembourg, the typical Luxembourg man or woman will need extra time to warm up to you:(
So do expect the same here in Wiltz!!
But don't worry, as the large Portuguese population would fill in the gaps! hehehe
But when every one is in the festive mood, do expect to see lots of fun going around:-)

Wiltz is located in an valley with low hills and gentle slopes. A visit to the old town, with its origins going back well into the time of the Romans, is worth a visit. That is why we stopped here...
Wiltz in Summer and Wiltz revisited

Luxembourg is a country that in my opinion should be visited in autumn. The nature is so beautiful then. There is often a lot of mist, so when we visited Wiltz it was so foggy that we couldn't see the...
