The Gaalgebierg Municipal Park is a place of relaxation for all, in a preserved nature on the heights of the city.

The hill where it is located is home to a vast forest with numerous paths, a campsite, an animal park, a football stadium and a natural ice rink.

The Mediterranean Garden in Schwebsange is a privately owned garden, designed and maintained over the last 30 years by Charles Roovers and Dieter Lingen. The 15 ares of the garden currently contain some 1,000 different species and varieties. Emphasis is placed on Mediterranean species and other subtropical to tropical species that flourish magnificently in the wine-growing climate of the Moselle. Due to the diversity of plants, the garden offers an attractive range of flowering plants throughout the season.

This 13-hectare park is a popular place for relaxation for locals and visitors alike. With its vast lawns, majestic trees and tranquil pond, it invites visitors to stroll and picnic.

Children can have fun on the modern, safe playgrounds, while benches dotted around the park offer perfect places to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

A haven of greenery just a stone's throw from the city, the Mansfeld Park gardens were inaugurated in 2017, on the 500th anniversary of Count Pierre-Ernest de Mansfeld, former governor of the Duchy. They are home to historical remnants of the Château La Fontaine: the Neptune basin, the artificial grotto and the St. Peter and Venus fountains. With its splendid view over the city, it has become a meeting place where Luxembourgers like to stroll and picnic. During the summer season, open-air concerts are regularly organized here.

Set up from 1871 to 1878 by landscape architect Edouard André on the location of the ramparts and glacis of the front of the old fortress, the municipal park spans a surface of 16 ha.

The most British parks in Luxembourg. The Laval Park is home to several remarkable trees over the age of 120. Its particularity is: a party is deliberately not maintained, the municipality having chosen to allow nature to take over. This is how you can discover very rare wild orchids.

Plantations, earthworks, water, sculptures, paths, and stone fields form a very beautiful 2.5 hectare complex in which it is pleasant to walk. The "Wiltz Garden" project was initiated in 1983 by Luxembourg and foreign artists who wanted to develop models of intervention in the public space and the social environment. Thus, this garden has been laid out by disabled people, long-term unemployed people, participants in temporary workshops and artists, some of whom continue to provide for its upkeep.

Nearly 500 butterflies are housed in this large 600 m² tropical greenhouse, which is constantly maintained at 28°C and 70 to 80% humidity. These superb specimens, from the most distant lands, evolve in a setting where nearly 250 exotic plants are gathered. You will also be able to discover their biological life cycle which includes four distinct stages: egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly. Since 2011, the butterfly garden has been operated as a professional inclusion workshop for people with intellectual disabilities.
