Take a tour of Manneken Pis in Brussels, Belgium -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. In Brussels, Belgium, there is a certain monument, offensive to some and beloved to others. This is the Manneken Pis, which means (as you might guess), "little man peeing". This strange part of the city's culture was built in the early 17th century. There are times when the city of Brussels dresses the little statue in various costumes. The little man of the statue has a remarkable collection, with hundreds of outfits to fit various events, causes, and holidays. The Manneken Pis even has his own set of wild legends and folklore.
