Manneken Pis in Lede

What a small little statue that you will just have to go see. Believe it or not, Manneken Pis has been around since 1619. You cant really visit Brussels without stopping by.We went at night on a weekend, around 10pm and it wasnt crowded at all so outside of rush hour it really isnt that difficult to walk by. There are also some great chocolate and waffle shops in the area with cute souvenirs. Basically just go see the little boy, it really doesnt have to take that long, and it is iconic 😊

This is definitely a tourist fad! Some of the chocolates in the shops nearby were larger imitations of the real fountain. It was small and underwhelming but a fun gimmick to visit if you’re around. Overall, I’d still recommend the visit.

First time in Bruxelles I was wondering why people were in line to take photos with the manneken pis. Only during a tour I understood what suck a little irreverent statue means for the people of Belgium : the free and irreverent spiriti of an entire population. Also every week they change clothes on the statue and that’s quite funny

Its rumored to be disappointing when you see it, but after all, its a place you come to when you come to Brussels. I hear that he wears clothes sent from all over the world,(?)so I wonder what hes wearing today.

Cute little statue. Still figuring out what they symbolize m (this is one of 3but it was cool to see it dressed up.

It’s in the city center near lots of tourist attractions and Brussels Central Station. I went there on Saturday, very crowded indeed. People can’t see up close, but it’s totally fine to visit because you will see interesting places along the way. If you see this Manneken Pis statue, you can finally say “Yes, I’ve been to Brussels”.

Maneken Pis is an emblem to this city. It is often dressed in different clothes. The place is always crowdy.

An icon of Brussels very close to the Grand Place. But very anticlimactic once you see it. One of those places which disappoints if you miss it or if you see it!

One of the main tourist attractions and it holds an important place in the history of Brussels. Highly crowded with tourists. Considering the size it is really overhyped, although you need to understand why it holds such an important place in their history. The surrounding area is completely vibrant with lots of cafe and shops selling waffles, fries, Belgian chivalry and biers.

Not super amazing, but worth a stop if you’re close by. Small statue, but interesting when they dress it up. It was on our route to the hotel, so we saw it daily.

A cute little sculpture, one of Brussels’ attractions. The sculpture is really not that big so low your expectation. The surrounding area is somehow clean despite a lot of visitors. It’s an easy walk from the center.

Nothing impressive, not to miss or anything of importance whatsoever. There are at least 50 more amazing statues youll find just walking on the way there 😃 And at least two fountains. Of course there is the historical value and humor, but the statue is nothing but a good replica. Probably better to visit the city museum if you have to choose.

The statue is much smaller than I tough, none the less cool to see this historic place

Best waffles with your favorite. Toppings are available. All you can see is chocolate and sweets everywhere.

Iconic with a lot of history, and easy to tick off your list when you’re strolling through Brussels center. The statue is regularly dressed up in different costumes. HOWEVER, it is probably best if you visit knowing what to expect (small statue, busy crowds).

One of must visit landmarks in Brussels, the real size is very small that expected, they take care of him with customs to wear in each celebration or special day.

This tiny fountain is one of the iconic sights of Brussels. Do not expect anything majestic. It’s worth to come and see the little boy and his neighbourhood. It only takes a few seconds to get a photo even when busy as people come and go fast. Enjoy Brussels! 👊🏼⭐️💙 Mr. Chill & Mr. Fluffy

Nice place to visit, the area is beautiful and close to the famous " Grant Place". You have to visit Brussels.

Its a fountain with the statue of a little lad taking a leak in it. A bit of fun for 5 or 10 minutes but not much more. It does, however, provide a gateway to a load of frite shops, chocolate shops, cafes and bars so well worth the trip and have a great time exploring the Grand Place and surrounding area.

Not sure whats the hype about this little pee boy is but definitely weird to find this as a place of Intrest.Also weirder to find the replicas of this made of chocolate and in souvenir shops !! 😆Went here cause of just the hype, a small Statue on the wall and thats what it is. Lot of excited people around !

It is a beautiful statue, no doubt but because of the popularity, it is always overcrowded - if you are thinking youll be able to get just your photo here with the statue - forget it. There are always like 50 people around it. And as others have mentioned, its quite small, despite what may appear from the photos.

Not too special in my opinion, but nice to see. Be prepared for a really large crowd in front of the statue, just hope for good timing and snap the picture really quick. Fun thing is that the statue gets dressed up differently almost every day. While you are there, enjoy a good Belgian waffle. I had the one with strawberries and white chocolate, very good.Did you know there is also a female and dog version of the Manneken Pis? Called Jeanneke and Zinneke Pis. Both not as busy and within short walking distance of Manneken Pis

Definitely one of the most important spots to visit in Brussels but it’s way smaller in real life than on the photos.

Nice experience visiting the alley and viewing this piece of historical beauty.

It seems a must visit attraction in Brussels as it is mentioned in every travel channel, travel blog or travel book. But when seeing it with my own eyes, I was a bit disappointed. It’s so tiny! And the little square is very crowded. Having been to Brussels twice and visited this little guy twice 4 years apart, I have not got a chance to see it is dressed on the fountain. But I see it in different costumes in a nearby costumes museum. Note this statue is a replica. The original one is stored and displayed at the City Museum ( Museum de la Ville de Bruxelleslocated at Grand Place.

Little dude taking a wee on everyone.This is what R Kelly saw and took too seriously unfortunately.So many people here all the time. Brussels is super pretty in the summer and little boys taking a public wee notwithstanding, this is a nice part of town which everyone should visit on their trip to this lovely city.We walked around in the area to Mary which has lovely chocolate

This outfit was inspired by the blue heart campaign against human trafficking. This attraction really brings in a crowd. Might have been one of my favorites as well.

It was great to see the little man in person. I have always known of Manneken Pis so it was a big tick of my list! It is great that this is free.

Well known statue in Bruxelles. Smaller than you think, but still very enjoyable.

What a song and dance about nothing special!The small insignificant black statue with no charm or attraction taking pis of the crowd for generations. I want my money back from my tour operator for wasting my time!!!😡😡😡

Frankly, I find this a lame tourist attraction. The whole city is filled with souvenirs and gift shops highlighting this guy peeing. Yes, I have heard the legendary stories and I respect the culture but too much of something hurts the eye, and makes it overrated. There are many other sights I would love to score in and around Brussels but personally this doesn’t fit the Bill for me.

The one loving figure we have been seeing from centuries..witnessing the real figure was definately adorable..and the immense courage tales that goes behind the deed was worth paying a heed.we were at the 25th celebration of the creation of the place and it was full breaming with people..worth a visit and nicely lined with some mouthwatering waffles to make ur day yummier and crunchy fries to simply blow your mind and all of this without burning a hole in ur pocket

Its pretty cool, theres actually a guy there with a shirt that says"official dresser" because they dress the statue in different clothes all the time. There also seems to be a strange parade that goes to it with giant folks on sticks and men dressed in drag. Quite entertaining to watch.

this statue of a little boy doing his business with a naughty smile on his face perhaps depicts the fun nature of brussels. the statue itself is small in size & reminded me of how I felt when I first saw the Monalisa. keep your expectations limited and you wint be disappointed. definitely worth visiting if you are in brussels.

Its very small statue near center. Nothing much to see. A place where usually young people go to celebrate and be loud and jump over the fence. Just need to see , make photo and go in your way exploring Brussels

It was smaller than I imagined but how fascinating it is to have people come from all over the world to see a statue, after all, of someone peeing. However it is beautiful, like the streets of Brussels are.. a cute statue.

Really enjoyed visiting this little chap, seeing his different outfits each time. Was pretty busy the first few times we went but early weekdays it was quiet and easy to get good photos.

We had a waffle by the statue. The crowd was thick! I liked that the statue had changes of outfits from one day to another. 😁

Great place to eat ! Right next to the Manneken pis, the frise are very good ! And there is good beer to go along with the meal.

He’s a nice little attraction to see. There’s a lot of excited people around him most of the day but still was able to get pictures. It’s a must see!

Great place. Youll enjoy the vibe. There are lots of shops serving waffle in various shapes which should be tried.

It was busy today. There were a lot of tourists here today. I am glad I visited today.nice little monumental statue. If ever you are in Brussels Central, you need to go see this statue.

30/04/22: having been to Brussels 4 times, it is only in the last few years that I have documented places Ive visited, as a part of my Google legacy. This time in Brussels I was celebrating my Stag Do with 18 friends. Probably one of the most famous photo opportunities in the whole of Brussels. Scout Day today, hence the little wee lad was eventually dressed as a Boy Scout!

This is also a must do if you come to Brussels....but dont expect it to be huge and magnificent..... its actually really small. Small doesnt mean unrelevant, or to be disregarded. Its like an awkwardness!This little guys is being dressed differently all the time. And the streets to to it are beautiful

It will give you some laughter, a smile but it is simply a replica of the original piece.Just pay close attention to the attire that the mannequin dons, it represents what is happening at the time in brussels.The tree nearby is something to interest you.

If you are there you might as well see. It is a very small statue but the lore is interesting. But the real attraction is the . . . check out the picture. The Grand Place or Grote Markt (central square of Brussels.

Picture with Manneken Pis is a classic if youre visting Brussels, but dont get your hopes up, the statue is very small. The area around it is touristy, with gift shops and chocolate shops all selling the replica of the statue.Tip: If you like Manneken Pis, you may enjoy the other statues as well: Jeannecke Pis (girl), Zinneke Pis (dog)

The VERY famous Manneken Pis@Brussel..Loved the Belgium canals, chocolate, waffles and creepe.... Must visit place to come and enjoy their unique history..

Visited this place which is one of the tourist attractions of the city. The lanes and the surrounding showcase the old golden era of Belgium and city of brussels. Lot of old building and old rides are attractive. Many statues in this area symbolic to many beliefs of the people in the country. These lanes have many restaurants too where u can enjoy waffles and other food items. U also can have horse cart ride and enjoy the street musicians there performing in front of crowd.

It is Nice to see but you Need to understand fiesta why is this symbol so important. It can be crowded, but usually every one takes turn to take the picture and enjoy a couple of minutes appreciating the monument.
