Brussels - Manneken Pis - Belgium :

Brussels Manneken Pis -- New York has the Statue of Liberty, Copenhagen has the mermaid and Brussels has the ...... Manneken Pis. This statue of a little boy in a somewhat compromising position has since several centuries been a major tourist attraction in the city. When most people see our 'manneken', the first reaction is always one of amazement: "Look, how small he is !

Also known as the "Ketje de Bruxelles", the "little boy of Brussels" is one of the city's most cherished figures. Tourists and Belgians come to visit and laugh at this statue, which is often dressed in one of its costumes (the impressive wardrobe is on display at the "Maison du Roi/King's House" on the Grand'Place). Numerous legends have sprung up around this symbolic Brussels figure. The most commonly heard is the one that, by answering his famous call of nature, he reputedly extinguished the burning fuse of a bomb destined for the Grand'Place. In reality, this charming little fountain was put in place during the reign of Archiduke Albert and Archiduchess Isabelle to supply drinking water to the neighbourhood.

A lot of people do not know that the manneken-pis is very often dressed. At the moment he has a wardrobe of more than 600 costumes, which are all preserved in the King's House, or City Museum at the Grand-Place, the central market square of the city.

Brussels is also served by direct high-speed rail links: to London by the Eurostar train via the Channel Tunnel; to Amsterdam, Paris and Cologne by the Thalys; and to Cologne and Frankfurt by the German ICE.

A comprehensive bus and tram network also covers the city. Brussels also has its own port on the Willebroek canal located in the northwest of the city. An interticketing system means that a STIB/MIVB ticket holder can use the train or long-distance buses inside the city. The commuter services operated by De Lijn, TEC and SNCB/NMBS will in the next few years be augmented by a metropolitan RER rail network around Brussels.
