In Brussels, we visited Manneken Pis & Jeanneke Pis. In fact, this was my second visit to Mannekan Pis as I visited Belgium after graduation on student tour.
Manneken Pis is a small bronze statue of a peeing boy that is located in the old part of town of Brussels, between rue de L'Étuve and rue Chene, next to the Grand Place. The Manneken Pis was designed in 1388 and is one of the most representative and loved symbols of Brussels.
Very close to the Grand Place visitors can also find the Manneken Pis’s “sister”, Jeanneke Pis. She is the female version of the little boy urinating.
This cheeky little girl with two ponytails is less known than her older brother and is a lot more modern. The little girl is made of bronze and squats and smiles
while she urinates into a grey limestone base.
