Manneken Pis is a fun and exciting landmark in Brussels, Belgium. Standing at only 55.5cm tall, this bronze fountain sculpture depicting a tiny naked boy urinating into the basin of a fountain has been around since at least 1451! Manneken Pis has become a symbol of Belgianness due to its self-derisive nature and popularity among locals. The statue has an impressive collection of over 1000 costumes which change regularly, adding to its charm. It is located at the junction of Rue du Chêne/Eikstraat and the pedestrian Rue de l'Étuve/Stoofstraat. Come and visit Manneken Pis and witness its unique character for yourself!
