Manneken Pis, Brussels

I believe it’s a must see like Mona Lisa at the Louvre! Unfortunately, tour guides tend to guide you away from it on the formal tour and encourage you to find it on your own time possibly. For example, they might say it’s small or far.. But to my delight when you happen to find it, ah Ha!! And you will enjoy the odd and nostalgia of this legendary monument to make its mark on your travels: Manneken Pisss!! :)

I know others have been underwhelmed by this attraction, but I absolutely love this little guy. You won't spend more then 3 minutes and it is funny to see that one the top attractions of the city is this little boy. Try to learn about the legends and the history behind it. It is 5 minutes from the Grand Place, worthy taking a quick look.

Pretty underwhelmed to be honest. Just a mini statue of a boy pissing (with high bars around it) and all this at a corner of a building around buildings... Not much to see but if you're there already (probably at the Grand-Place) it's a 5 min walk. And since there's not much to see in Brussels anyway you can go and check it out. There's as lot of waffle shops nearby so you can treat yourself after.

I don't understand why people have this negative attitude toward this statue. First, it is not meant to be a history lesson (though the story behind it is funny and interesting). Second you are not expected to spend an hour looking at it, it is not a museum. Just go there on your way to the main square enjoy it for a minute or two and look up its history later or before your visit. Keep Pissing!

The boy is just pissing. Give him some privacy people.... Unless you're a tourist like me. Then stare at him all you want. There's something bizarre about the whole experience but you just accept it and it makes you wanting more pissing statues. (There are others. Look for them)
