No trip to Brussels is complete without seeing the infamous Manneken Pis (Little Man Piss). While his history dates back to 1388, this particular 2-foot bronze statue was made in 1619. Rumor has it he supposedly dispensed beer in the past. We were a few days late to see him wearing his Christmas costume, which is just one of over 100 he wears at different times of the year.
