Manneken Pis

Address	rue de l'Etuve Brussels

Alongside a narrow pedestrian walkway a couple blocks away from the Grand Place is Brussels’ favorite character, the Manneken-Pis. The Manneken-Pis is a small bronze statue of a gleeful boy urinating. No one knows exactly when the statue came into existence. However, some stories date back to the 8th century. The Manneken-Pis has been vandalized and stolen several times throughout history. During special occasions, the Manneken-Pis wears various costumes from his wardrobe at the Musee de la Ville de Bruxelles.
