Manneken Pis

Incorporating a stop at Manneken Pis into your day in Brussels offers a glimpse into the city's playful culture. This small bronze statue depicts a boy urinating into a fountain, a symbol of irreverence since its creation in 1619 by Jérôme Duquesnoy the Elder. Visitors can often see the statue dressed in various costumes during city festivals, adding a lively touch to the experience. Located on Rue de l'Étuve, it's a brief yet memorable visit while exploring the surrounding historic area.
