The aim of the paper is to study some geometric properties of weakly Z-symmetric manifolds. Weakly Z-symmetric manifolds with Codazzi type and cyclic parallel Z tensor are studied. We consider Einstein weakly Z-symmetric manifolds and conformally flat weakly Z-symmetric manifolds. Next, it is shown that a totally umbilical hypersurface of a conformally flat weakly Z-symmetric manifolds is of quasi constant curvature. Also, decomposable weakly Z-symmetric manifolds are studied and some examples are constructed to support the existence of such manifolds.
