Overview
Cast in 1619, this 61cm-tall bronze fountain statue of a boy is Brussels's most famous symbol. He owns hundreds of outfits — donated by foreign heads of state and famous designers — that are displayed at the nearby GardeRobe MannekenPis costume museum. His companion statues Jeanneke-Pis (a girl) and Het Zinneke (a dog) are also nearby and fun to track down.
Travel Tips
The statue is much smaller than most people expect, so manage your expectations. Hunt down nearby Jeanneke-Pis (the girl statue) and Het Zinneke (the dog statue) too.
