Travel Brussels, Belgium - The Manneken Pis in Brussels
Take a tour of Manneken Pis in Brussels, Belgium -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
In Brussels, Belgium, there is a certain monument, offensive to some and beloved to others.
This is the Manneken Pis, which means (as you might guess), little man peeing.
This strange part of the city's culture was built in the early 17th century.
There are times when the city of Brussels dresses the little statue in various costumes.
The little man of the statue has a remarkable collection, with hundreds of outfits to fit various events, causes, and holidays.
The Manneken Pis even has his own set of wild legends and folklore.

Manneken Pis is a statue in the heart of Brussels, just off the Grand place - it's one of the top things to see in the city and is one of the more unique sites we've seen on our travels! There's plenty of stories behind Manneken Pis and how it came to be or why this little boy peeing has become such an icon in Belgium. We read a bunch of them online and share a few of our favourites in the vlog.
Manneken Pis is located a block or so away from the incredible Grand Place of Brussels. Also known as Grote Markt of Brussels this is one of the most interesting and beautiful city squares we've come across. We were fortunate to get a private tour of the city tower to get a view back down over the Grand Place from nearly 100 metres above ground - its a special walk up the stairs and a view we won't be forgetting anytime soon Belgium, or more so Brussels specifically from our experience, really is a magical place that has quickly left a mark on us and at this point we really don't want to leave.
We're positive you'll love Brussels as much as we do, there's loads of info on the Visit Brussels website:

A Family of Pissing Statues: Manneken Pis, Jeanneke Pis and Zinneke Pis:
Many of you may know about the famous Manneken Pis statue in Brussels. You know, the statue of the little boy that is peeing into a fountain? But did you know that this little boy also has a sister and dog, who also seem to have the same problem of relieving themselves in public? It is true, Brussels seem as though it is getting taken over by the Pis family one by one. Of course, I just had to drag poor Micah around to find them all.
Manneken Pis
Manneken Pis is the most famous of the three statues and stands not far from the Grand Place, doing his business for the whole world to see. He is much smaller than you would imagine, only two feet tall–it is funny how a relatively tiny statue can garner such large crowds. During different times of the year, he is dressed in costume, apparently he has over 800 (!), but when we were there, he wasn’t wearing anything. There are many reasons and stories as to why this little boy is so famous, but it is said that he represents Brussels rebellious nature and history. If you enjoy the statue, you could even take one home in the form of chocolate, or you could give it as a gift. Who wouldn’t love to receive a gift of a peeing statue in the form of chocolate, right?
Jeanneke Pis
Next on the list is Jeanneke Pis, Manneken Pis’ little sister. Jeanneke must have taken some pointers from her brother because she squats over a fountain doing her business for the world to see as well. For some reason, poor Jeanneke is behind bars at the end of a small side street across from Delirium Cafe–hardly a place for such a little girl to hang out. This statue is a bit harder to find, as it is located at the end of a dead end street. I was a little taken aback by the way she was squatting–I guess I should have expected it since she is a girl and all, but it is in your face and kind of a little creepy! Rumor has it that a restaurant owner put her there to attract more people to his almost hidden restaurant. Whatever the truth is, the restaurant is gone, but the statue remains and still attracts many visitors to this day.
Zinneke Pis
Last up on the search for the pissing statues is the hardest one to find of all, Zinneke Pis, which is the dog. Manneken and Jeanneke trained their dog the only way they knew how–find a public place, and let it flow, although he is not actually a working fountain like the other two. Located along a quiet unassuming street, the dog was installed as a mascot for the city. Many people in Brussels do not like the marketing reasons behind the dog, but after his arrival, the surrounding area did develop into a nicer area, with more shops and restaurants.
Belgium - The Story Of 'Manneken Pis'
T/I 10:54:41
As Christmas approaches, Manneken-Pis, one of Brussel's best-loved
landmarks, is dressed as Santa Claus.
But this is just one of many costumes the little boy, forever set
in stone relieving himself, has worn over the years. The statue is
a beloved part of the Belgian capital and the city even has an
employee responsible for dressing it in different costumes.
Dressing Manneken-Pis has been Jacques Stroobants' responsibility
for 21 years and he now sees it as more of a hobby than a job.
Many of the costumes are now kept in a special museum but
Stroobants has his own collection of more than 600 outfits.
The mystery surrounding the origins of the statue has created many
legends, including a tale that the statue is a monument to a young
boy who used his common sense to extinguish a firecracker which
was about to blow up the town hall.
Another is that it was erected by a grateful mother and father who
found their lost child relieving himself on the spot where the
statue now stands.

Manneken Pis, Brussels
Manneken Pis (literally little man pee in Dutch, also known in French as le Petit Julien), is a famous Brussels landmark. It is a small bronze fountain sculpture depicting a naked little boy urinating into the fountain's basin. It was designed by Jerome Duquesnoy and put in place in 1618 or 1619. It bears a similar cultural significance as Copenhagen's Little Mermaid.
There are several legends behind this statue, but the most famous is the one about Duke Godfrey III of Leuven. In 1142, the troops of this two-year-old lord were battling against the troops of the Berthouts, the lords of Grimbergen, in Ransbeke (now Neder-over-Heembeek). The troops put the infant lord in a basket and hung the basket in a tree to encourage them. From there, the boy urinated on the troops of the Berthouts, who eventually lost the battle.
The statue is dressed in costume several times each week, according to a published schedule which is posted on the railings around the fountain. His wardrobe consists of several hundred different costumes, many of which may be viewed in a permanent exhibition inside the City Museum, located in the Grand Place, immediately opposite the Town Hall. The costumes are managed by the non-profit association The Friends of Manneken-Pis, who review hundreds of designs submitted each year, and select a small number to be produced and used.

Manneken Pis is a landmark small bronze sculpture in Brussels, depicting a naked little boy urinating into a fountain's basin. It was designed by Hiëronymus Duquesnoy the Elder and put in place in 1618 or 1619. The 61 cm tall bronze statue on the corner of Rue de l'Etuve and Rue des Grands Carmes was made in 1619 by Brussels sculptor Hieronimus Duquesnoy the Elder, father of the more famous François Duquesnoy. The figure has been repeatedly stolen: the current statue dates from 1965. The original restored version is kept at the Maison du Roi/Broodhuis on the Grand Place.
There are several legends behind this statue, but the most famous is the one about Duke Godfrey III of Leuven. In 1142, the troops of this two-year-old lord were battling against the troops of the Berthouts, the lords of Grimbergen, in Ransbeke (now Neder-Over-Heembeek). The troops put the infant lord in a basket and hung the basket in a tree to encourage them. From there, the boy urinated on the troops of the Berthouts, who eventually lost the battle.
Another legend states that in the 14th century, Brussels was under siege by a foreign power. The city had held its ground for some time, so the attackers conceived of a plan to place explosive charges at the city walls. A little boy named Julianske happened to be spying on them as they were preparing. He urinated on the burning fuse and thus saved the city. There was at the time (middle of the 15th century, perhaps as early as 1388) a similar statue made of stone. The statue was stolen several times.
Another story (told often to tourists) tells of a wealthy merchant who, during a visit to the city with his family, had his beloved young son go missing. The merchant hastily formed a search party that scoured all corners of the city until the boy was found happily urinating in a small garden. The merchant, as a gift of gratitude to the locals who helped out during the search, had the fountain built.
Another legend was that a small boy went missing from his mother when shopping in the centre of the city. The woman, panic-stricken by the loss of her child, called upon everyone she came across, including the mayor of the city. A city-wide search began and when at last the child was found, he was urinating on the corner of a small street. The story was passed down over time and the statue erected as a tribute to the well-known legend.
Another legend tells of the young boy who was awoken by a fire and was able to put out the fire with his urine, in the end this helped stop the king's castle from burning down.
Traditions: The statue is dressed in costume several times each week, according to a published schedule which is posted on the railings around the fountain. His wardrobe consists of several hundred different costumes, many of which may be viewed in a permanent exhibition inside the City Museum, located in the Grand Place, immediately opposite the Town Hall. The costumes are managed by the non-profit association The Friends of Manneken-Pis, who review hundreds of designs submitted each year, and select a small number to be produced and used.
Although the proliferation of costumes is of twentieth-century origin, the occasional use of costumes dates back almost to the date of casting, the oldest costume on display in the City Museum being of seventeenth-century origin. The changing of the costume on the figure is a colourful ceremony, often accompanied by brass band music. Many costumes represent the national dress of nations whose citizens come to Brussels as tourists; others are the uniforms of assorted trades, professions, associations, and branches of the civil and military services.
On occasion, the statue is hooked up to a keg of beer. Cups will be filled up with the beer flowing from the statue and given out to people passing by.

Brussels, Belgium - Manneken Pis (2018)
Manneken Pis is a landmark small bronze sculpture (61 cm) in Brussels, depicting a naked little boy urinating into a fountain's basin. It was designed by Hiëronymus Duquesnoy the Elder (nl) and put in place in 1618 or 1619. The current statue is a copy which dates from 1965.[4] The original is kept in the Museum of the City of Brussels.
Manneken Pis is the best-known symbol of the people of Brussels. It also embodies their sense of humour (called zwanze in the Brussels' dialect) and their independence of mind.
The City of Brussels is the largest municipality and historical centre of the Brussels-Capital Region, and the de jure capital of Belgium. Besides the strict centre, it also covers the immediate northern outskirts where it borders municipalities in Flanders. It is the administrative centre of the European Union, thus often dubbed, along with the region, the EU's capital city.
The City of Brussels is a municipality consisting of the central historic town and certain additional areas within the greater Brussels-Capital Region, namely Haren, Laeken and Neder-Over-Heembeek to the north, and Avenue Louise/Louizalaan and the Bois de la Cambre/Ter Kamerenbos park to the south.
On 1 January 2017, the City of Brussels had a total population of 176,545. The total area is 32.61 km2 (12.59 sq mi) which gives a population density of 5,475 inhabitants per square kilometre (14,180/sq mi). As of 2007, there were approximately 50,000 registered non-Belgians in the City of Brussels. In common with all the Brussels municipalities, it is legally bilingual (French–Dutch).

Manneken Pis (meaning Little man Pee in Dutch) is a landmark small bronze sculpture (61 cm) in Brussels, depicting a naked little boy urinating into a fountain's basin. It was designed by Hiëronymus Duquesnoy the Elder and put in place in 1618 or 1619.
The famous statue is located at the junction of Rue de l'Étuve/Stoofstraat and Rue du Chêne/Eikstraat. To find it, one takes the left lane next to the Brussels Town Hall from the famous Grand Place and walks a few hundred metres southwest via Rue Charles Buls/Karel Bulsstraat.
The 61 cm tall bronze statue on the corner of Rue de l'Etuve and Rue des Grands Carmes was made in 1619 by Brussels sculptor Hieronimus Duquesnoy the Elder, father of the more famous François Duquesnoy.

The statue has been stolen seven times, the last time in January 1963, by students of the Antwerp student association De Wikings of the Sint-Ignatius Handelshogeschool (Higher Business Education), now part of the Antwerp University, who hijacked Manneken Pis for five days before handing it over to the Antwerp authorities. The local and international press covered the story, contributing to the students' collection of funds donated to two orphanages.
There is also a statue of Manneken Pis in Tokushima, Japan, which was a present from the Belgian embassy (Tokushima being twinned with Brussels).
Since 1987, the Manneken has had a female equivalent, Jeanneke Pis, located on the east side of the Impasse de la Fidélité/Getrouwheidsgang.

Peeing Boy Statue Brussels - Manneken Pis.
Upon arrival in Brussels one of the first attractions you are shown is the Manneken Pis (little pee man in Flemish). The peeing boy is a small bronze fountain statue from the 17th century that is tall just 61cm (24 inches). One would not normally call this art piece ‘majestic’, but the locals have so many stories and ways of celebrating with this little boy that even the toughest critic would find some fondness for the bronze doll.
Stories of peeing boy statue origins
Many great legends bring this little statue to life in the hearts of visitors, and the question is why was this statue erected? One story tells of a tourist father who lost his son in the city and after receiving help from villagers to find the boy, he gifted this statue to them. Another, more daring, tale is one where the boy was a spy during a siege of the city. He literally put out a ploy to bomb the city by urinating on the explosives! Many stories such as this have given the Manneken Pis a firm place in Brussels’ city-life but none would compete with its present-day glory.
Grand Place, Manneken Pis, Waffles, and Chocolates in Brussels
Vlog#5 - A visit to Brussels in Belgium is not complete if you haven't tried their famous waffles, yummy chocolates, beers, and more! We were lucky enough to get an AirBnB accommodation courtesy of our cousin and her family who lives in Brussels. The apartment was just less than 3 minutes away from the Grand Place so what would one do if you have 2 days to spare in Brussels? Of course, you walk around, eat at some eateries and try their waffles, and chocolates!
The Grand Place in Brussels is called the Grote Markt which is the central square. It is close to the Central Station. So, if you are arriving by train to Brussels, you can get off at the Central Station and just few minutes walk and you will be at the heart of this famous square.
The square is surrounded by beautiful, and opulent looking Guildhalls, Town Hall, and the Museum of Brussels. An alley between the Town Hall, and Beer Museum will lead you to the famous Manneken Pis or the Peeing Boy. It is a small statue and one way to know you are near the statue is when you see plenty of tourists flocking in one area for a photo op. :) We got lucky that day and managed to snap a photo without other tourists. It was late in the afternoon and most tour groups have left.
Aside from that, you must also try the waffles, and the Belgian chocolates. They are really, really good! I decked my waffles with lots of strawberries and whipped cream. Yummy! We bought our waffles at the Le Funambule. As for chocolates, you can just try anything there. If you want the more expensive ones then go for Godiva, and Leonidas.
We also looked for the Jeanneke Pis. It is the female version of the Manneken Pis. It was a bid hard to find but we just asked around and managed to find it. I am a bit disappointed though. The Jeanneke Pis is behind a grilles so you can't take a decent photo of it. And just across the Jeanneke Pis is one of the known bars in Brussels - Delirium. We went inside for some fun photo ops because they have so many novelty decors of beers, kegs, etc. Any beer lovers would love to take a photo here or even stay for a cold beer.
We enjoyed the time we have spent here. It was a far cry from my first visit where it rained most of the time. Seeing the guild houses and other buildings during the day and past dusk with the lights illuminating the facade of these buildings, giving them beautiful golden glow. It's just beautiful.

Manneken Pis - Brussels (Belgium)
Manneken Pis is a monument of Brussels, Belgium. It is a small bronze fountain of a boy urinating into the fountain basin.
In the festivities the statue is adorned with several disguises. His wardrobe now has more than 800.
The photographs usually taken from the statue give a false impression of its true stature; many tourists are disappointed to discover a small statue instead of a larger one.
In Rio de Janeiro, there is a similar statue in front of Botafogo headquarters. The statue was adopted by the fans of this team and nicknamed Manequinho.
On April 28, 2007, on the initiative of the Portuguese community in Belgium, he was dressed in the typical Minho costume.
An unusual sight, this small statue of a boy just sixty-one inches tall urinating into a small tank is as typical of Brussels as the lions of Trafalgar Square are from London. The original bronze statue of Jerome Duquesnoy the Elder was put in place in 1619 and the ironic design reflects the genuine need for fresh drinking water in that area.
