Mannekin Pis The famous peeing statue of Brussels has long been a tourist attraction and symbol of the city. Featured on numerous postcards, t-shirts, and other souvenirs, the statue is much smaller in real life than people would expect, standing only a foot tall. The statue is often dressed for special occasions and holidays, and currently has a wardrobe of some 600 costumes. During one annual holiday, the statue actually pees beer instead of water! Near the fountain are a number of shops and stores, selling souvenirs as well as traditional Belgian waffles, piled high with your choice of chocolate, bananas, or whipped cream.
