Pipi Corner
For some strange reason, this city has a special affinity with urine. Of course there’s the Manneken Pis, the famous urinating boy, but did you know he has a little sister on the other side of the Grand Place, who does exactly the same?

Le Zinneke
A ‘zinneke’ is a crossbreed, a burly dog, cunning and enterprising, without complexes, worldly wise and curious. He is the symbol that represents the “Bruxellois” (Brussels natives and the Brussels dialect), but also of the cross-pollination of peoples and cultures that have passed through Brussels over the years, a symbol of hospitality and above all no “dikkenek' (no airs and graces, not being stuck up). In this sense, the Zinneke is an atypical symbol of the intercultural and international character of the city of Brussels.

Jeanneke Pis
Jeanneke Pis is a modern fountain and statue in Brussels, which forms a counterpoint in gender terms to the city's trademark Manneken Pis, as it does aurally and geographically, being about the same distance away on the other side of the Grand Place / Grote Markt.
