Slip into a narrow alley to meet Jeanneke Pis, Brussels' cheeky answer to its famous boy statue. Peer through the railings at the little fountain girl and take a quick photo.
Full description
Jeanneke Pis is a modern fountain sculpture of a young girl, commissioned in 1985 and set behind iron railings in a narrow alley near the Grand Place. It plays on the older Manneken Pis and is usually seen as the quieter, more offbeat counterpart.
Reviewers note the alley can be crowded with tourists, yet the statue's cheeky character makes the short detour popular. A visit is brief, about 15 minutes, and it is free and accessible at all hours, making it an easy add-on to a central Brussels stroll.

A few days ago I met her brother, Manneken Pis. So naturally, I had to find her too🩷 Meet Jeanneke Pis, Brussels' cheeky little girl tucked away in a hidden alley, doing exactly what she pleases. Tiny frame, zero shame💦😄
