4sq SUs BelgiumMarch 5, 2016Brussels’s most stylish ketje has over 800 outfits, incl. those of Nelson Mandela and Elvis Presley! His wardrobe containing gifts from around the world, is kept at the Museum of the City of Brussels.

VISITBRUSSELSJanuary 24, 2014This bronze statuette, created in the 17th century by J. Duquesnoy, embodies the irreverent spirit of Brussels. From being a public fountain, the little fellow has now become a legendary figure. Read moreUpvoted Feb 22
gav wJuly 9, 2012Mostly naked, sometimes dressed-up, always smaller than you think. This lump of leaky brass is maybe not the pride of Brussels, but the waffle vendors and pick-pockets love it.
J KoflerAugust 28, 2018Landmark of Brussels; in the vicinity of Grand Place and next to lots of shops, so no detour necessary. Don't be disappointed, he is smaller than you think. Lucky if you get to see him dressed up!
Olivia WallMay 14, 2016Wasn't to hard to find with a map. Smaller than we imagined but cute. Absolutely worth a visit while in Brussels!
Valentin CalommeAugust 21, 2015While admiring this Belgian landmark, go check out the Poechenellekelder (the puppet's attic in dialect). It's the bar on the right. They have countless artifacts you will want to check out
Krishna PrasadJuly 5, 2014Nice history behind this and it changes it dress for over 700 times a year for events! Try the belgian waffles with toppings for 1 euro next to it! Lots of shops selling godviva choca as well.- drew tarvinApril 26, 2015It's a bizarre statue but the stories around it are amazing. Louis XV gave the statue a medal so French Military have to salute when they walk by.
Gabi BulumacDecember 20, 2015It's strange what can make a country famous 😂 Take some pictures 📸 with this funny and lovely little boy 😍
Moe RustomMay 29, 2016You should pass by and have a look, nothing much to it. Its not even the original one as it is been placed in a museum. But its more about what it represents.- Ovgu C. O.July 26, 2015Manneken Pis is the symbol of the Brussel so it's a must see statue. You can reach it through a short walk from Grote Markt.
Thomas CraenenAugust 10, 2015This little statue is one of Belgium's most well known figures. It often is dressed in a special outfit depending on the occasion.
Daniela AyersFebruary 27, 2016Good for a laugh and tourist photos. The little statue wears different costumes throughout the year.
Hanneke FialkaMay 14, 2016Every time I visit the Manneken seems so small....Still, this iconic statue is worth the visit. Every time.
- Elle DornerJune 11, 2016Go to the City Museum if you want to see the original Manneken! And try to find out what legend is been told about this little boy ;)
Will BelfordAugust 11, 2014The ultimate symbol of the city. You can't visit Brussels and not see Manneken Pis, whose outfit changes all the time.
Olympus BelgiumDecember 8, 2011Chocolates, fries or....Manneke Pis? A typically Belgian photo is best to shoot in the neighbourhood of this famous little man. Feel free to tweet it with #olympusZOB (Zoom on Brussels by @olympus_be)
Christian BakerFebruary 8, 2016Get there early. Like, 8am, lest you enjoy battling hordes of tourists with Nikons to see a 60cm tall statue.
Quentin LafonAugust 4, 2014You must visit this iconic place when you are in Brussels ! Smaller than believed !
Thijs NiksOctober 18, 2015I guess you have to see if this is your first visit to Brussels, even though it will disappoint you. It's tiny and just… weird. Get a waffle to comfort yourself afterwards.
Sai NathanSeptember 13, 2016It's a good place to visit. One of the most important tourist attractions.
DHR.comSeptember 19, 2011This statue of a boy urinating on the fountain is one of the most important ones in the Brussels! You can even see him wearing different costumes. This is just a short walk from the Grote-Markt.
Kristina MutalapovaAugust 9, 2016Even if your expectations are low already this little guy will still disappoint you. However if you're around - go there to make sure and have a laugh )- Anfal Al RadwanJune 2, 2014Unique Brussels icon amuses visitors on the corner of "rue de l'etuve & stroofstraat" since 1619
The Hotel. BrusselsJanuary 9, 2012In 1987 Manneken Pis received company in Brussels from "Jeanneke Pis": a little girl peeing. She's not far away so visit her as well: Impasse de la Fidélité (Fidelity Alley) close to Rue des Bouchers.
Les Auberges de JeunesseOctober 6, 2011"Oh my god, he's so small !" Everyone says that. But do you know that little boy is so symbolic of the free-minded spirit of the "Brusseleirs" ? But don't take a pee in the middle of Grand Place ^^
Carl GriffinJanuary 1, 2016Possibly the most overrated tourist attraction ever. Best thing are the outfits that he occasionally wears.
Tota AliOctober 7, 2014This statute is like the Mona Lisa you'll be disappointed of the size but you have to see it!- Erwin VanheckeMarch 8, 2015There is a discussion going on about this being the real Manneken Pis or not. There is the same statuette in the town of Geraardsbergen.
Victoria GoulartNovember 8, 2016If you're in the city, you must go. But it's just a 2 minutes view, nothing really interesting about it.
Mujde McGuireAugust 20, 2014Sometimes this statue dressing costumes. It is funny :-) you can see a lot chocolate shop in around.
- Anfal Al RadwanJune 2, 2014A famous statue of a little boy peeing in a fountain is a perfect representative of the irreverent Belgian humor
Darrann HughesFebruary 3, 2015A Brussels Land Mark... 👍... Although I expected Him to be Bigger.... 😉
Luis González FernándezNovember 19, 2015You see it because you have to see ... Min height where they exist, surrounded by huge amounts of tourists eager for an image that promises more than it delivers ...
Marianne ClarkAugust 8, 2019It's such a small statue I nearly walked past it but for the other tourists around. Seems like a good place to stop and look around.
